You Are Now | Thich Nhat Hanh's Calligraphy

These attachments were the sharp blades that caused my bleeding. With each thought and notion that I was able to let go of, I felt freer. Liberation was becoming concrete and experiential moment by moment and day by day. One does not need to be an old guru, a wise person, or a corpse in order to taste liberation.

Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, my body is at peace. Breathing in, I take refuge in Mother Earth. Breathing out, I release all my suffering to the Earth.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.
