My favorite Thich Nhat Hanh book is called, “No Death, No Fear.” It’s small and easy to read.<BR/>VWValerie Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199314365233601349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553516344215573067.post-51538926299472057372007-05-02T21:23:00.000-05:002007-05-02T21:23:00.000-05:00Hi Valerie!Thank you so much for sending me that q...Hi Valerie!<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sending me that quote! It was great. I'm going to write it down and put it somewhere in my house. Maybe the bathroom or the kitchen. I've heard of Thich Nhat Hanh, but never read him. Thanks for turning me on to him. I'm excited to go read his stuff now. <BR/><BR/>Bubbleshare is fun. So is Flickr, I hear. I plan on creating a flickr account soon. Thank you for the positive feedback on my poem and what I wrote about being a plant. I feel more strongly about it each day and its really nice to know that someone else appreciated my thoughts/feelings on it:)Audryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052429360123856027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553516344215573067.post-74645994702421582892007-05-02T08:18:00.000-05:002007-05-02T08:18:00.000-05:00Audry, Love the garden slide show.

I liked when you said “I might be a plant”. It reminded me of the writing of one of my favorite authors. <BR/><BR/>“Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred.”<BR/>~ Thich Nhat Hanh<BR/>21st century Vietnamese Buddhist monk and authorValerie Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199314365233601349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553516344215573067.post-29919345298590271902007-05-02T00:26:00.000-05:002007-05-02T00:26:00.000-05:00Hey Lisa!Yes, I remember you were growing broccoli...Hey Lisa!<BR/>Yes, I remember you were growing broccoli last season, among other things.

I miss it. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208415043231859355noreply@blogger.com
