Thich Nhat Hanh: "If you do not give right attention to the one you love, it is a kind of killing.
When you are in the car together, if you are lost in your thoughts,
assuming you already know everything about her,
she will slowly die."
I love the Thich Nhat Hanh quote!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you specifically mentioned the Thich Nhat Hanh quote. I so wish Elizabeth's father would have gotten that long or ago, or even now. I cute that from O Magazine probably 10 years ago and laminated it. I've kept it attached to the visor in my car as a reminder for as long as I can remember. My car is 13 years old, my daughter is almost 17, so pretty close to her entire life. Now it is my book mark and my prayer. I love her so much and she is hurting and angry with her father, basically for being who he is, but really it is for acting the way he does. I wish I could get her to see the difference - and so I pray.... because I do see the problem with all of the "wishes" and "wants" in this paragraph :)
