The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life.
True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Some quotes on stillness.
Embrace your uniqueness
The miracle is walking on the earth, not walking on water or fire. The real miracle is walking on this earth. — Thích Nhất Hạnh (via purplebuddhaproject)
The real miracle is that we are here to walk on this earth. "There is nothing so fantastic as to compare to our own existence." ~ Trabue Gentry.
Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your perceptions need you, your feeling needs you. The wounded child in you needs you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.
Thich Nhat Hanh, from: Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child (via abiding-in-peace)
You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

...Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey. Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek. So laugh with me; hold my hand, let us say goodbye; say goodbye, to meet again soon. We meet today. We will meet again tomorrow. We will meet at the source every moment. We meet each other in all forms of life. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
