Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment…

Thich Nhat Hanh

Tread Lightly

    And, without thought, that is exactly what your lovely heron is doing, Cherie

    Amen! A timely quote and photo for me, herons are good omens – I wished I had viewed it before my good news today, but can I still consider this “spiritual” confirmation anyway? (See my blog – I didn’t put the link here, but you know where it is.)

    Glad to see you’re well and hanging in there, with all of this crazy this year, and that Prince Harry (the Heron, at least) apparently is too!

    PS – Your post and recent events inspired me to visit: https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh/

    Interestingly, this quote – also by thich-nhat-hanh – greeted me. You may already know if it, but I thought you and others might also appreciate it :)

    “We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the Earth. Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”

    Good one.
    The one, offered by Chrysalis, I do like even more.

    This year has certainly reminded me to live more in the moment.
