Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes
Nothing Can Survive Without Food. Everything We Consume Acts Either To Heal Us Or To Poison Us. We Tend To Think Of Nourishment Only As What We Take In Through Our Mouths, But What We Consume With Our Eyes, Our Ears, Our Noses, Our Tongues, And Our Bodies Is Also Food. The Conversations Going On Around Us, And Those We Participate In, Are Also Food. Are We Consuming And Creating The Kind Of Food That Is Healthy For Us And Helps Us Grow? When We Say Something That Nourishes Us And Uplifts The People Around Us, We Are Feeding Love And Compassion. When We Speak And Act In A Way That Causes Tension And Anger, We Are Nourishing Violence And Suffering.
