The Miracle of Mindfulness
Thich Nhat Hanh
(1926-)
In the morning, after you have cleaned and straightened up your house, and in the afternoon, after you have worked in the garden or watched clouds or gathered flowers, prepare a pot of tea to sit and drink in mindfulness. Allow yourself a good length of time to do this. Don't drink your tea like someone who gulps down a cup of coffee during a workbreak. Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the whole earth revolves--slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life.
