With spring comes new growth. Take time to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and be present in the moment. Put down your electronic devices and appreciate the world. Walk the streets with awareness. Notice other people, the space around you, the sounds, and the smells. Breath deeply, find a calmness and peace in exactly where you are. Seek happiness in the moment, accept change: life is short, so breathe in, breathe out, and just be you. You are a miracle.
“Around us, life bursts with miracles–a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life’s daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
