paying attention


Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and to look
at all beings with eyes of compassion.
-Thich Nhat Hanh

    That is wonderful - compassion is what I have gained with age, I think, and I do strive for it. I tried to get Thich Nhat Hanh's book from the library, but had no success over here.

    I think I'm going to have to put that up somewhere prominent in my home so I see it every day.
