The roots of a lasting relationship are mindfulness, deep listening and loving speech, and a strong community to support you. - Thích Nhất Hạnh

The Buddha also counseled the monks and nuns to avoid wasting any precious time by engaging in idle conversation, oversleeping, pursuing fame and recognition, chasing after desires, spending time with people of poor character, and being satisfied with only a shallow understanding of the teaching.

I will practice coming back to the present moment...not letting regrets and sorrow drag me back into the past or letting anxieties, fears, or cravings pull me out...

Be in touch with what is wondrous, refreshing, and healing, both inside and around yourself.
