“People usually consider walking on water
or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds,
green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child –
– our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.”
Thích Nhất Hạnh

“The source of love is deep in us
and we can help others realize a lot of happiness.
One word, one action,
one thought
can reduce another person’s suffering
and bring that person joy.”

“Because you are alive, everything is possible.”
Thích Nhất Hạnh
In remembrance of Zen teacher, poet,
writer, and peace activist
