Thich Nhat Hanh

Today we went to the Auditorium of the City of Pasadena to listen to Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese monk. It is just great to think that we were in the same room with him and actually heard him talk about mindfulness, compassion and breathing. He is 87 years old and still such an imposing presence. It was a time of shared meditation, of breathing in and breathing out, a time to listen to beautiful violin music and chanting by the young monks, and a time to reflect about the meaning of life.
I am grateful.
