“Smile, breathe and go slowly”


After a hectic day, I remembered the words of Thich Nhat Hanh as I watched the sun set and the full Moon rise last night.

Whether it was influence of the full Moon or not, I don't know, but I woke with a sense of dread this morning. And someone reminded me - via a post here - that another acronym for FEAR is

F ***
E verything
A nd
R un

There is a point here, but, as I am not in a warzone, I'm sticking to my original - that Fear today is False Evidence Appearing Real... And am hopeful that my preoccupations and anxieties won't trip my brain into pressing the F*** It button and running from my realities...

So best remember: “Smile, breathe and go slowly.”
