Today I am grateful that I have been lucky enough to hear and see Thich Nhat Hanh teach.
He is such a quiet, calm man, and yet his words are more than powerful. His talks have been inspirational because you can see that he really lives by what he is teaching. He radiates love and compassion, and it is impossible not to be touched by it.
It took me a while to settle into the retreat. After the first day, I wondered what I had let myself in for! (Mind you, it's hard to be enthusiastic about anything when you've not had enough sleep...hence the very early, and much needed, bed last night!) But now that it is nearly over, I want more time! I feel that with a bit more time I could get to talk to a few more people and gain more insight into how to move forward with the practice of Mindfulness. I really feel that it could be a powerful tool to navigate safely through life.
I do, of course, have a loving teacher closer to home...so watch out, Linds, I may be picking your brains real soon!!!
Gratefully yours.

Please do! I'm so glad you've enjoyed hearing Thay teach, and I agree with you, his words are powerful, but his example is inspirational xx
