Food

Around us, life bursts forth with miracles --- a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, a laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heart-beat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.
--- Thich Nhat Hanh, The Sun My Heart
