Grant yourself a moment of peace,
and you will understand
how foolishly you have scurried about.
Learn to be silent,
and you will notice that
you have talked too much.
Be kind,
and you will realize that
your judgment of others was too severe.
– Ancient Chinese Proverb
Oh my, that is just beautiful. I’ve been thinking of this kind of sentiment the past weeks, after reading the book by the Buddhist monk Thic Nhat Hahn. Cultivating peace…it’s what I want to do with the days I have.
Thank you!
