Evergreen ~ Canon 30d

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among
the pines.

~ Henry David Thoreau


I know this is a wonderful moment. It is a joy
to sit, and return to our breathing, our smiling, our
true nature. Our appointment with life is in the
present moment.

If we do not have peace and joy right now,
when will we have peace and joy - tomorrow, or after
tomorrow? What is preventing us from being happy
right now?

~ Thich Nhat Hahn
