My life is currently running at insane pace: moving houses, project from hell and writing are all getting to me. So here's a little bit of joy that I thought was sharing with the world. It comes from the teachings of Thich Nhat Hahn:
"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle."
To me that means that being mindful of your presence in your current place -- easy or hard -- leads to its own happiness.
