yet in our daily lives, we are usually carried away
by our forgetfulness, anger and worries,
lost in the past, unable to touch life in the present moment.
When we are truly alive,
everything we do or touch is a miracle.
To practice mindfulness
is to return to life in the present moment.
The practice of the first precept
is a celebration of reverence for life.
When we appreciate and honor
the beauty of life,
we will do everything in our power
to protect all life.
