“Touching the present moment, we abide in happiness. There are always enough internal and external conditions to make us happy in the present moment. This is not to deny that there are also elements of suffering in us and around us. But the elements of suffering do not remove the elements of happiness. If we touch only suffering elements, we are not really living. Some people become imprisoned in their suffering.”
[From “Understanding our Mind” by Thich Nhat Hanh – chapter 47-The present moment]

The sun continues rising in spite of the clouds. And because of the clouds the show is even richer to the eye.
