"Take time to drink your tea" - a calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh

Please enjoy this extract from his book, "Answers From the Heart":

"Happiness is possible when you are capable of doing the things and being the things that you want to do and to be. When we walk for the sake of walking, when we sit for the sake of sitting, when we drink tea for the sake of drinking tea, we don’t do it for something or someone else. These things can be very enjoyable. That is the practice of aimlessness. While you do that, you heal yourself and you help heal the world. Awakening means to see that truth—that you want to know how to enjoy, how to live deeply, in a very simple way. You don’t want to waste your time anymore. Cherish the time that you are given."

Look again, you may be the light.

Reflections of the Dao de ching
From Lao Tzu
Some little take always from:
✨Be aware of Labels we give ourself.
Then allows us to begin to let go to explore new horizons within - allows us to be less fixed or fixated on how we think something should be . Open up your peripheral vision and see the bigger picture . Perhaps we won’t be so hard on yourselves (this is my work in progress!)
✨Befriend uncertainty, exploring the enjoyable mystery
✨Befriend emptiness …
As from silence comes sound
From darkness there is light
From relaxation allows space for things to be and space to heal what needs to be so.

Be like water
“Let go and Let Dao “
Quote from Wudang Mountians
