Thought

The morning-glory, lasting only a few hours in the summer morning, is of the same significance as the pine tree whose gnarled trunk defies wintry frost. The microscopic creatures are just as much manifestations of life as the elephant or the lion. In fact, they have more vitality, for even if the other living forms vanish from the surface of the earth, the microbes will be found continuing their existence. Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom, I am swallowing the whole universe with it, and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space.

– John Carey, What Good are the Arts?  

Quote

Thich Nhat Hanh on mindfulness:

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