A Little Bit of Present Awareness With Your Morning Coffee

21 08 2008

Today when I was reading while having a cup of coffee, I came across a passage that really interested me. I started reading Peace in Every Step, by Thich Nhat Hanh, where he discusses bringing peace to our everyday lives. The passage that I read said “Even non-sounds such as a ray of sunlight coming through the window are bells of mindfulness that can remind us to return to ourselves, breath, smile and live fully in the present moment.”

This was a nice reminder that little things that you do, and that you silently appreciate can brighten your day, and bring a small amount of peace to your life.
