[image: scattered pale blue petals next to a small, vivid blue flower. Below is a quote. “I am no longer indifferent to phenomena that pass before my senses. A leaf, a child’s voice - these are the treasures of life. I look and listen deeply in order to receive the messages these miracles convey. Separation from loved ones, disappointments, impatience with unpleasant things - all these are also constructive and wonderful. Who we are is, in part, a result of our unpleasant experiences. Deep looking allows us to see the wondrous elements contained in the weaknesses of others and ourselves, and these flowers of insight will never wilt. With insight, we see that the world of birth and death and the world of nirvana are the same.” - Thich Nhat Hanh]
