coming home to an open heart


The practice of mindfulness, the practice of meditation consists of coming back to ourselves in order to restore peace and harmony. If we come back to ourselves to restore peace and harmony, then helping another person will be a much easier thing. Caring for yourself, re-establishing peace in yourself, is the basic condition for helping someone else.

-Thich Nhat Hanh, True Love
