From the Quote of the Week Files; June 29, 2015

This week some life lessons on stillness, love, miracles, compassion, peace and 1-ness from the Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author and poet, Thich Nhat Hanh.

“Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Recycle Quote of the Week Classics…

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

“The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding."

Thich Nhat Hanh

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
