This was today’s quote on Insight Timer~
Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet. Thich Nhat Hanh
What a perfectly lovely image! I had been contemplating health, and Thay’s quote hit the mark for me. Today, I can use my legs; I can walk, and I can feel the ground beneath me. I can breathe the air around and within me. Nothing is guaranteed; all is temporary.
Today I will do my best to take nothing for granted. I have life! I will enjoy it. I have pain, which helps me to appreciate the pain-free days that much more. For today, I can love my body enough to let it rest. I will use my vision to take in all that I see, and to appreciate the beauty in it all. I will enjoy the silence around me, which, as it turns out, isn’t silent at all.
I will love what is, in this moment, knowing that this moment is all I have.
Today, with gratitude, I will kiss the Earth with my feet.
