Being Present

Our past is filled with regrets and our future with worries, and by dwelling on these thoughts, we rob ourselves of the joy that can only be experienced ‘now’. Titles in this section explore the transformative effects of letting go of the past and future in order to immerse yourself in the power of living in the present moment alone.

The Miracle of Mindfulness
Thich Nhat Hahn

“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.”
