Steps
Toward Peace Within
Walk in such a way that peace becomes a reality in every cell of your
body, in every cell of your consciousness, because our consciousness
is also
made of cells. Mental formations, feelings, perception -- they're all the
cells of our consciousness. And when we breathe peacefully, the peace of
our breath will penetrate into our body and into our mind. Then very soon,
in no time at all, body, mind, and breath will become one in concentration,
and we’ll get the energy of stability, solidity, and freedom generated
by every step we make.
--Thich Nhat Hanh
from “Walking with Peace
and Presence”
