Appreciate the wonders of life around you from "summary" of You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh

When we are mindful, we can see the wonders of life that are around us at every moment. We can appreciate the beauty of a flower, the sound of a bird singing, or the feeling of the sun on our skin. These simple joys are often overlooked in our busy lives, but when we take the time to truly be present, we can see how magical the world truly is. Mindfulness allows us to see the interconnectedness of all things. We can see how the flower relies on the sun, the rain, and the soil to grow. We can see how the bird's song is part of the symphony of nature. We can see how we are all connected, all part of the same intricate web of life. When we are mindful, we can also see the impermanence of all things. We can see how the flower will eventually wither and die, only to be replaced by a new bloom in the next season. We can see how the bird's song will eventually fade into silence. We can see how our own lives are constantly changing and evolving. By appreciating the wonders of life around us, we can find joy in the present moment. We can let go of our worries about the past and the future, and simply be here, now. We can find peace and contentment in the simple things, in the beauty of a sunrise, the laughter of a child, or the feeling of a gentle breeze. So let us take the time to be mindful, to truly see and appreciate the wonders of life that are all around us. Let us open our hearts to the beauty and magic of the world, and find joy in the present moment.
