Good afternoon my fellow Joy seekers… As I savor the last few days of vacation prior to starting a busy Spring semester at school I am ever reminded of the importance of the need to be mindful and fully experience that joy that is our life and world. Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist Monk, and peace activist, eloquently describes how even everyday activities must be celebrated and cherished each day in this simple example—
“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
