Being Mindfulness Saying By Thich Nhat Hanh

Here is a simple being mindfulness saying by Thich Nhat Hanh from his book “The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation“.

Mindfulness Saying Thich Nhat Hanh

“I like to walk alone on country paths,
rice plants and wild grasses on both sides,
putting each foot down on the earth
in mindfulness, knowing
that I walk on the wondrous earth.

In such moments, existence is a miraculous
and mysterious reality.

People usually consider walking on water
or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.

Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don’t even recognize:
a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves,
the black, curious eyes of a child–
our own two eyes.

All is a miracle.”

Thich Nhat Hanh
