Welcome to Litsy!

This is a beautiful, enlightening book of healing, effective communication as taught by a Buddhist monk.

I did some #audioknitting earlier. Charlie‘s new sweater is almost done! The lace isn‘t as impressive laid flat like this, but I think it‘ll look lovely once she‘s got it on.

It was nice to absorb THE ART OF COMMUNICATING while I worked, too. So many of these ideas feel familiar because I‘ve already seen them in action—from an older cousin who was a Catholic nun. Further proof that Thich Nhat Hahn‘s books are relevant to people of all faiths.

“It takes a lot of practice to tell the truth in a way that the other person can hear.”

“There is a Buddha inside each of us. ‘The Buddha‘ is just a name for the most understanding and compassionate person it‘s possible to be. You may call it something else if you wish, like wisdom or God. We can breathe, smile, and walk in such a way that this person in us has a chance to manifest.”

Getting in some pre-bedtime reading while I recover from what felt like a super-long day. I‘ll be answering tags and comments again tomorrow! 💖

“To stop and communicate with yourself is a revolutionary act.”

Fresh from the library. Into the #toberead stack it goes!
