In the Ultimate, We Dwell.

“The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this path I walk in peace.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

I love this passage written by the venerable Thich Nhat Hanh – as, it serves as an important reminder of the freedom which exists within this moment right here.

“Only a free person can be a happy person,” he continues. “Whether your home is in Washington, D.C. or New Delhi, you have to come home to this moment…The present moment is a teacher that will always be with you, a teacher that will never fail you.”

And, that freedom is born, my darlings, within this moment – right here.

It is within each blade of grass, and every shifting wind. It’s right here even within the curled edges of the dying maple leaf.

Can you just imagine that, if you will? To walk in the spirit of always being free?

And, no matter if you’re caught in a flurry of worry – this peace-filled refuge is never more than a single thought away.

Waiting simply for your heart’s sweet embrace.

“I have arrived. I am home.
In the here, in the now.”

Namaste, my darlings – and remember, it is right here, always, within the ultimate that we dwell.
