“The present moment is filled with joy and happiness.
If you are attentive, you will see it.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh

When life gets confusing or chaotic, I seem to find myself coming back around to the basics that I learned in my first meditation class 20 years ago:

Pause, Take a breath, Wake up…

paying attention is simple

paying attention is much harder than it seems at first

paying attention is a form of prayer

paying attention is a radical act

in today’s world

‎”This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing
I know: that the soul exists and is built
entirely out of attentiveness.”
– Mary Oliver
