Walking the mystical path with practical feet...
"I vow to offer joy to one person in the morning
and to relieve the grief of one person in the afternoon
I vow to live simply and sanely,
content with few possessions.
I vow to let go of all worries and anxieties
in order to be light and free"
––from The Chanting Book at Plum Village, France, a Prayer by Thich Nhat Hanh
