“My path is the path of stopping, the path of enjoying the present moment. It is a path where every step brings me back to my true home. It is a path that leads nowhere. I am on my way home. I arrive at every step…”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
In a day where I have a lot of commitments, may I go with the flow and stop along the way 🙂

Learn from our dear dogs! However busy their day, they never miss an opportunity to rest. If only I could practice what I preach!

So true Paul! Most if us know what is good for us, and I know I get caught up with thinking that creates pressure. I wish the dogs had been around me today to remind me. Although I think the day was a good one without burden or stress 😉

I have been thinking a lot about the path that I am on at the moment and so I LOVE this post and the photo and that call to me to say ‘it is OK, to stop for a while’.
thanks Val 🙂
