“NE PLUS ULTRA”
“It’s the height, the zenith, the ultimate, the crown, the pinnacle. It’s the peak, the summit, the crest, the high-water mark. All these expressions, of course, mean “the highest point attainable.” But ne plus ultra may top them all when it comes to expressing in a sophisticated way that something is the pink of perfection. It is said that the term’s predecessor, non plus ultra, was inscribed on the Pillars of Hercules at the Strait of Gibraltar, which marked the western end of the classical world. The phrase served as a warning: “(Let there) not (be) more (sailing) beyond.” The New Latin version ne plus ultra, meaning “(go) no more beyond,” found its way into English in the 1630s.”

Forever Missed
Today I am thankful for tears
Though an ocean I have cried
They speak of our connection
Reminding me that love has not died.
Today I am thankful for the memories
They brighten the road of grief
They remind me of love shared
And provide a small relief.
Today I am thankful for love
Felt strongly in my soul
Love continues living forever
Keeping us together and whole.
Today I am thankful for friends
Those who didn’t walk away
They saw my broken heart
And chose to sit and stay.
Today I am thankful for time
For the moments that were too few
Through the tears that are shed
Today I am thankful for you.
