🕊Dad’s 22nd Anniversary

Hey Dad, it’s me!
Today is your
22nd anniversary.
I’m reminded that
your greatness was
not in what you have
but in what you give
without expecting
anything in return.
And today,
I will remember you
for who you were….
a warm, kind and
generous soul
resting in
heavenly peace 🕊

A lovely Sky Vine for my beloved aunt!

🕊Hello Aunt Ying,
yesterday I saw
this lovely purple flower
peeping through the door
as I was walking out
from my work place.
And today this flower
came to my mind again.
I believe you’re up there
in heaven looking down
at this same flower.
I think it’s a Sky Vine.
I’m reminded of all
the conversations we had
and thought about
the things that
were left unsaid.
In remembrance
of you today,
I choose…
calm over chaos,
joy over drama,
peace over conflict,
respect over disregard,
love over hate and
clarity over confusion.
Six years on,
I still think about you often
and miss you dearly still.
Much love, Pat 💕

Wise quotes by the Father of mindfulness

10 memorable quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh, the father of mindfulness:
Thich Nhat Hanh [11.10.26 – 22.1.22]
http://www.lionsroar.com
“Because you are alive, everything is possible.”
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”
“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.”
“The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.”
“If love is in our hears, every thought, word and deed can bring about a miracle. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful.”
“When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.”
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”
“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”
“It is my conviction that there is no way to peace – peace is the way.”
