Back to Yourself

Live your daily life in a way

that you never lose yourself.

When you are carried away

with your worries, fears, cravings,

anger, and desire,

you run away from yourself

and you lose yourself.

The practice of meditation

is always to go back to oneself.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

(1926 to 2022, Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Monk)
