In the midst of modern life's chaos, let us cultivate the tranquility of mindfulness. As we breathe, let us be aware of the present moment. In the stillness of meditation, may we discover the beauty of compassion. May loving-kindness guide us, embracing all beings with gentle understanding. "People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle." - Thich Nhat Hanh
