The eleventh day of Lent

We have to walk in a way that will only print peace and serenity on the earth. Thich Nhat Hanh

This quote is from a longer one that says:

‘When we walk like we are rushing, we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.' Thich Nhat Hanh

We are part way through Monday already and even here we can slow down and breathe. I love the image of walking slowing and printing peace on the earth that is in this quote. I feel the importance of treading lightly. I’ve been working on an image to remind myself about treading lightly on the earth because my footprint and the size of it matters.

Let’s anchor this with a breath prayer.

Breathe in
I walk in a way

Breathe out
that will only bring peace
