A source of joy
‘Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.’ Thich Nhat Hanh
Doing mode, Being mode
‘We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being. We think that when we’re not doing anything, we’re wasting our time. But that’s not true.’
A tribute to Thich Nhat Hanh
‘People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.’
Daily joy
‘Joy comes from touching things that are refreshing and beautiful, within and outside of ourselves.’
Finding balance
‘Let tiny drops of stillness fall gently through your day.’
Cultivating connections
‘The most precious thing we can give to another is our presence, which contributes to the collective energy of mindfulness and peace.’
Creating joy
‘Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.’ Thich Nhat Hanh
Sacred space
Most of us can probably think of places which feel special to us in some way.
Silence – Part 2
We don’t always need to find new strategies for ‘solving’ life. Sometimes, simply creating some intentional silence and space might be enough.
Silence
‘Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light.’
