We each know what the other will say, and so the saying becomes an unnecessary formality.

“There are so many things that can provide us with peace. Next time you take a shower or a bath, I suggest you hold your big toes in mindfulness. We pay attention to everything except our toes. When we hold our toes in mindfulness and smile at them, we will find that our bodies have been very kind to us. We know that any cell in our toes can turn cancerous, but our toes have been behaving very well, avoiding that kind of problem. Yet, we have not been nice to them at all. These kinds of practices can bring us happiness.” KnowsWellsKindHas BeensProblemBodyBigsTurnsNextPayAttentionPracticeNiceAwarenessMindfulnessCellsPay AttentionShowersNext TimeToesAvoidingBaths Author:Nhat Hanh
