“The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.”
Thích Nht Hnh
 

I am blessed in the fact that I barely have to think before my mind stumbles across something that makes me smile.  This world is truly a miracle in itself, without the additional blessings of family and friends.

I find that I often forget the potency of mindfulness under a well aligned perspective.  Attention to the details of the world around me, and truly seeing the miracle of each observation.  If I approach it from that angle, life enjoyment is almost inevitable.  Take for example that you cannot deeply concentrate on your next breath of air, without truly being thankful and happy for what it has given you.


This past meeting reminded me of that.  As Sifu alluded to, it was the two degree adjustment in perspective that I needed.
