Life is Like a River
Life is like a river, with all its twists and turns.
Just when you think the sailing is smooth
a storm sets your life in turmoil.
Whether a flood of turbulent trouble
or a drought of boredom and unrest
our lives seem to flow with an unknown current.
We are sure we know the course we are on
but in the time it takes to draw a new breath
we no longer know where we are.
it seems the way has been flooded with conflict
we are no longer secure in the path we have chosen.
It takes courage and faith to find a new way
to trust ourselves and our ability to know we are right. - Paravritti Mitra

A Bodhisattva doesn't have to be perfect. Anyone who is aware of what is happening and who tries to wake up other people is a Bodhisattva. We are all Bodhisattvas, doing our best. - Thich Nhat Hanh
I am not the most beautiful woman, not the smartest person, or some sort of a Marvel superhero. But if I'm able to make someone feel better through something I say or do, then I'm good. I'm blessed. I'm grateful. - Veronika Jensen
“Tenderness and Kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestation of strength and resolution...” ❤️ - Khalil Gibran
Our Sacred Nature
“The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong. The world is part of our own self and we are a part of its suffering wholeness. Until we go to the root of our image of separateness, there can be no healing. And the deepest part of our separateness from creation lies in our forgetfulness of its sacred nature, which is also our own sacred nature." ❤️ - Thich Nhat Hanh

Being Peace
“There are many of us who are eager to work for peace, but we don't have peace within. Angrily we shout for peace. And angrily we shout at the people who like us, are also for peace, even people and groups dedicated to peacemaking sometimes fight among themselves. If there is no peace in our heart, there can be no harmony among the peace workers. And if there is no harmony, this is no hope. If we're divided, if we're in despair, we can't serve; we can't do anything.
Peace must begin with ourselves with the practice of sitting quietly, walking mindfully, taking care of our body, releasing the tension in our body and in our feelings. That is why the practice of being peace is at the foundation of the practice of doing peace. Being peace comes first. Doing peace is something that comes from that foundation." ❤️ - Thich Nhat Hanh

Love and trust, in the space between what's said and what's heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world. - Fred Rogers
When you heart has room for everybody, then your heart is full of love. - Fred Rogers
Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion, towards ourselves and towards all living beings. - Thich Nhat Hanh
Anger is in us in the form of a seed. The seeds of love and compassion are also there. In our consciousness, there are many negative seeds and also many positive seeds. The practice is to avoid watering the negative sees, and to identify and water the positive seeds everyday. This is the practice of love. - Thich Nhat Hanh

We are responsible for our anger. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Whenever the energy of anger comes up, we often want to express it to punish the person whom we believe to be the source of our suffering. This is the habit energy in us. When we suffer, we always blame the other person for having made us suffer. We do not realize that anger is, first of all, our business. We are primarily responsible for our anger, but we believe very naively that if we can say something or do something to punish the other person, we will suffer less. This kind of belief should be uprooted. Because whatever you do or say in a state of anger will only cause more damage in the relationship. Instead, we should try not to do anything or say anything when we are angry. - Cromnick Rana Anion
If we are not peaceful, then we cannot contribute to the peace movement. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace
Cultivation of Inner Peace is the foundation of World Peace. - Cromnick Rana Anion
Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind become scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Always stay mindful in the present moment. - Cromnick Rana Anion
It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent, when they are not. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Your real source of happiness is deep within you. It is stillness, pure, peaceful, and awareness. It is a hygiene for mind and emotion. - Cromnick Rana Anion

Two Gardens
“You have two gardens: your own garden and that of your beloved. First, you have to take care of your own garden and master the art of gardening. In each one of us there are flowers and there is also garbage. The garbage is the anger, fear, discrimination, and jealousy within us. If you water the garbage, you will strengthen the negative seeds.
If you water the flowers of compassion, understanding, and love, you will strengthen the positive seeds. What you grow is up to you.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

#Choose love
Love vs. Fear. All to often it's difficult to distinguish these 2 drives. We choose love for the wrong reason, as the solution to being alone. And we choose being alone for the wrong reason, as the solution for our fear of love. In truth we should be making all our choices based on love. When you live life directed by fear, you keep yourself small and limit possibilities. When you live life based on going towards love, your grow yourself and your life is beautiful ways. - Karen Salmansohn

Be Still and Know
“If we’re not calm, we can’t see and listen deeply and understand. But when our mind is calm, we can see reality more clearly, like still water reflecting the trees the clouds, and the blue sky. Stillness is the foundation of understanding and insight.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Just this moment
Let your mind and soul Rest
Let Silence takes you to the core of your Being
and rest at the vast fullness of Life within...- Jannice T.

Once we accept our circumstances, we open up the possibilities to respond creatively beyond our limited perception based on our temporary preferences.
It enables us to see the next right action.
When we are stuck in a state of denial, rejection, or blame, we are very limited in our ability to see our way forward. Unless things meet our expectations, we can only move in the directions that our wounded ego leads us.
Bowing to what is happening and saying "yes, this is happening, what is needed now?" opens us to be able to listen and to receive inspiration for possible solutions and to see what steps we can take that may not have occurred to us when we are still saying "no" to our circumstances.
This does not mean that we do not stand up for what is just and seek pathways for healing and to fight against that which would bring us harm, instead, it means to move into openness before deciding what those actions might be.
May each of us find the best way to move forward with our hearts and eyes open to where we can make things better for ourselves and others and may we never lose our hope. - Sufi.net

Our hearts want to be recognized and honored. When we set out to do our best to act and respond from the heart, it changes the world.
It changes our perception of what is important and it changes the way we walk in our lives and how we treat ourselves and others. On the Path of the Heart, there is more than progress, fixing, or accomplishment, there is love.
What way can you respond to the world today that is heart-centered?
How can you act from love, internally and externally at this moment?
How do we heal our lives and our world?c
We don't set out to save the world. We set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts. - Pema Chodron

Real, truthful love, he argues, is rooted in four elements — loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity — fostering which lends love “the element of holiness.” The first of them addresses this dialogic relationship between our own suffering and our capacity to fully understand our loved ones:
The essence of loving kindness is being able to offer happiness. You can be the sunshine for another person. You can’t offer happiness until you have it for yourself. So build a home inside by accepting yourself and learning to love and heal yourself. Learn how to practice mindfulness in such a way that you can create moments of happiness and joy for your own nourishment. Then you have something to offer the other person.
[…]
If you have enough understanding and love, then every moment — whether it’s spent making breakfast, driving the car, watering the garden, or doing anything else in your day — can be a moment of joy.
This interrelatedness of self and other is manifested in the fourth element as well, equanimity, the Sanskrit word for which — upeksha — is also translated as “inclusiveness” and “nondiscrimination”:
In a deep relationship, there’s no longer a boundary between you and the other person. You are her and she is you. Your suffering is her suffering. Your understanding of your own suffering helps your loved one to suffer less. Suffering and happiness are no longer individual matters. What happens to your loved one happens to you. What happens to you happens to your loved one.
[…]
In true love, there’s no more separation or discrimination. His happiness is your happiness. Your suffering is his suffering. You can no longer say, “That’s your problem.”
Supplementing the four core elements are also the subsidiary elements of trust and respect, the currency of love’s deep mutuality:
When you love someone, you have to have trust and confidence. Love without trust is not yet love. Of course, first you have to have trust, respect, and confidence in yourself. Trust that you have a good and compassionate nature. You are part of the universe; you are made of stars. When you look at your loved one, you see that he is also made of stars and carries eternity inside. Looking in this way, we naturally feel reverence. True love cannot be without trust and respect for oneself and for the other person.
The essential mechanism for establishing such trust and respect is listening — something so frequently extolled by Western psychologists, therapists, and sage grandparents that we’ve developed a special immunity to hearing it. And yet when Nhat Hanh reframes this obvious insight with the gentle elegance of his poetics, it somehow bypasses the rational cynicism of the jaded modern mind and registers directly in the soul:
To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love. To know how to love someone, we have to understand them. To understand, we need to listen.
[…]
When you love someone, you should have the capacity to bring relief and help him to suffer less. This is an art. If you don’t understand the roots of his suffering, you can’t help, just as a doctor can’t help heal your illness if she doesn’t know the cause. You need to understand the cause of your loved one’s suffering in order to help bring relief.
[…]
The more you understand, the more you love; the more you love, the more you understand. They are two sides of one reality. The mind of love and the mind of understanding are the same.
Remember:
“To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love.”

“Once you understand reality; although illusory perceptions of the world may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense of contentment.” - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Sometimes everything hits you all at once. You lose a relationship, change jobs, old friends go and new ones come. It's up one day and down the next. You have it all together on Monday and by Thursday you don't have a clue. Life is one big wave and all we can do is flow, grow, and adapt. - Sylvester McNutt
