pickI will read anything Thich Nhat Hanh writes. I‘m not Buddhist, but he is a wonderful teacher. His words are ever a balm in a world where there is so much pain. This book is about our relationship with the living worlds around us, and how to get that connection back in order to heal ourselves and the other beings around us.
❤️ I got to visit with my niece (and sister and bro-in-law) this week! (Sorry for the sticker on her face, but #notmybaby)
🤎 Family hike at Al Quaal
🧡 A visit to Lakenenland, our local sculpture park (https://lakenenland.com/)
💛 Local book haul

pickVery beautifully-written. I'm looking forward to re-reading this one at some point.
pick“The practice is to transform yourself. If you don‘t have garbage, you have nothing to use in order to make compost. And if you have no compost, you have nothing to nourish the flower in you. You need the suffering, the afflictions in you. Since they are organic, you know that you can transform them and make good use of them.” 🗑️ ➡️ 🪷
