true home

Our true home is in the present moment.
To live in the present moment is a miracle.
The miracle is not to walk on water.
The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment,
to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.
Peace is all around us-
in the world and in nature-
and within us-
in our bodies and our spirits.
Once we learn to touch the peace,
we will be healed and transformed.
It is not a matter of faith;
it is a matter of practice.
-Thich Nhat Hanh

yes, yes, yes!

if Oprah asked me, "What do you know for sure?" this would be my response, "The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment...it is a matter of practice."
