Find The One That Makes Your Heart Smile
Thich Nhat Hanh: "If we want to be safe, we have to build safety. What do we build it with? We can't use fortresses, bombs, or airplanes. The United States of America has a very powerful military and the most advanced weapons in the world, but the American people don't feel safe; they feel very afraid and vulnerable. There must be some other kind of practice to take refuge in so that we can really feel safe. We have to learn to build safety with our in-breath and our out-breath. We have to learn to build safety with our steps, with our way of acting and re-acting, with our words and our efforts to build communication." More by Thich Nhat Hanh

Always
