We have so few. And when they leave, these wise oracles, we consider their legacy. We review their teachings. And perhaps we commit to more fully embracing their wisdom in our lives. Today I am embracing these words of Thich Nhat Hanh.

If you abandon the present moment,
you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply.

Many people are alive
but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.

Every breath we take, every step we make,
can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

Every thought you produce, anything you say,
any action you do, it bears your signature.

My actions are my only true belongings.

We have more possibilities available
in each moment than we realize.

Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.

In this moment and every moment may we all kiss the Earth with our feet. May we touch the miracle of being alive.

Beannacht,
