Peace Is Every Step

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.
~ Thich Nhat Hạnh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

I have just finished re-reading Peace Is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh. I felt like I was hearing his voice coming out of the pages. Whether in written word, or when you hear him in audio, that same peaceful and soothing presence is there. So beautiful.
