Mindfulness of breathing is your island, where you can be safe and happy, knowing that whatever happens, you are doing your best
thing.This is the way to take refuge in the Buddha, not as mere devotion but as a transformational practice.
You do not have to abandon this world.
You do not have to go to Heaven or wait for the future to take refuge.
You can take refuge here and now.
You only need to dwell deeply in the present moment.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh from Living Buddah Living Christ

Healing Mother Earth
Walking mindfully on the Earth can restore our peace and harmony,
and it can restore the Earth's peace and harmony as well.
We are children of the Earth. We rely on her for our happiness, and
she relies on us also.
Whether the Earth is beautiful, fresh and green, or arid and parched
depends on our way of walking.
When we practice walking meditation beautifully , we massage the Earth with our feet and plant seeds of joy and happiness with each step.
Our Mother will heal us, and we will heal her.
Thich Nhat Hanh
