Thich Nhat Hanh

Wherever we are we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other and the wonder of our breathing.

Wisdom is a living stream, not an icon to be preserved in a museum. Only when a practitioner finds the spring of wisdom in his or her own life can it flow to a future generation.

You already are what you want to become. You are a marvel. You are a wonder.
