Walking is a Miracle

Thich Nhat Hanh. Excerpt from the book “How to Walk

published by Parallax Press

Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. When I breathe in andbecome fully alive, I see myself as a miracle. When I look at an orange mindfully, I see the orange is a miracle. When I peel an orange mindfully, I see that eating an orange is also a miracle. The fact that you are still alive is a miracle. So miracles are the things that you perform several times each day with the power of mindfulness. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. I perform this miracle every time I walk. You too can perform the miracle of walking any time you want.
