Quote of the week
Freedom
The basic condition of happiness is freedom. If there is something on your mind that you keep thinking about, then you are caught and have no freedom. If you are caught in sorrow and regret about the past, or if you are anxious about what will happen to you in the future, then you are not really free to enjoy the many wonders of life that are available in the here and now. The blue sky, the beautiful trees, the lovely faces of children, the flowers, and the birds can nourish and heal us in the present moment.
From The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh by Thich Nhat Han,h, edited by Melvin McLeod
For those with further interest, this is the book we are discussing at Monday evening dharma study, starting at 6;30 pm!
