Some 'Wonder'ful Wisdom from Thich Nhat Hanh

All the wonders of life are already here. They’re calling you. If you can listen to them, you will be able to stop running. What you need, what we all need, is silence. Stop the noise in your mind in order for the wondrous sounds of life to be heard. Then you can begin to live your life authentically and deeply. https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/42431497-silence-the-power-of-quiet-in-a-world-full-of-noise





Are you there for the wonders of this life or are you stuck in one of those seemingly endless traffic roundabouts in your mind?  I don't know about you but I seem to keep missing the exit and I am running out of gas.  :)

If you know how to be happy with the wonders of life that are already there for you to enjoy, you don't need to stress your mind and your body by striving harder and harder, and you don't need to stress this planet by purchasing more and more stuff. The Earth belongs to our children. We have already borrowed too much from it, from them; and the way things have been going, we're not sure we'll be able to give it back to them in decent shape. And who are our children, actually? They are us, because they are our own continuation. So we've been shortchanging our own selves.

Parenting is a wonder that is all about loving presence.  I love this:
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
