Happiness is Here and Now (Woman)

"Mindfulness is an important agent for our transformation and healing, but our seed of mindfulness has been buried under many layers of forgetfulness and pain for a long time.  We are rarely aware that we have eyes that see clearly, a heart and a liver that function well, and a non-toothache.  We live in forgetfulness, looking for happiness somewhere else, ignoring and crushing the precious elements of happiness that are already in us and around.  If we breathe in and out and see that the tree is there, alive and beautiful, the seed of our mind – fullness will be watered, and it will grow stronger." - Thich Nhat Hanh
