I am reminded that living anywhere except in this moment is a fool's errand. Back to basics!
Breathing in I calm my body
Breathing out I smile
Dwelling in the present moment
I know this is a wonderful moment!
by Thich Nhat Hanh
These four lines have, at times, been all that kept me in this world. They are tried and true. A simple mantra that kept my mind busy when the world was in chaos, a meditation that brings me comfort when the world is painful, a simple bit of wisdom that maybe I would have tattooed on my eyelids if only I could read that up close!
I tend to forget them when my world flows by peacefully, which is too bad, because they are truly words for all seasons, but they come back. They always come back.
