Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary.

There are burning bushes all around you.

Every tree is full of angels.

Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.

what I need right now…

inquiry for today~ what is calling you home?

this spacious heart….

We have a great, habitual fear inside ourselves. We’re afraid of many things- of our own death, of losing our loved ones, of change, of being alone. The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch nonfear. It’s only here and now that we can experience total relief, total happiness. In the practice of Buddhism, we see that all mental formations- including compassion, love, fear, sorrow, and despair- are organic in nature. We don’t need to be afraid of any of them, because transformation is always possible.

~Thich Nhat Hanh
