More From Nhat Hanh

Breathing in, i am aware that i am breathing in. breathing out, i am aware that i am breathing out. breathing in, i am grateful for this moment. breathing out, i smile. breathing in, i am aware of the preciousness of this day. breathing out, i vow to live deeply in this day.
Grateful Breathing I Smile
When i was a kid, phone calls were a premium commodity; only the very coolest kids had a phone line of their own, and long-distance phone calls were made after eleven, when the rates went down, unless you were flamboyant with your spending. then phone calls became as cheap as dirt and as constant as rain, and i was on the phone all the time.

What have we got here in america that we believe we cannot live without? we have the most varied and imaginative bathrooms in the world, we have kitchens with the most gimmicks, we have houses with every possible electrical gadget to save ourselves all kinds of trouble - all so that we can have leisure. leisure, leisure, leisure! so that we don't go mad in the leisure, we have color tv. so that there will never, never, be a moment of silence, we have radio and muzak. we can't stand silence, because silence includes thinking. and if we thought, we would have to face ourselves.

The new iphone has encryption that protects the contents of the phone. this means if someone steals your phone - if a hacker or something images your phone - they can't read what's on the phone itself, they can't look at your pictures, they can't see the text messages you send, and so forth. but it does not stop law enforcement from tracking your movements via geolocation on the phone if they think you are involved in a kidnapping case, for example.

Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.
