Quote of the day: “The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.” ― Jon Kabat-Zinn
On the wall of the Zendo at Akiko’s
I was originally going to call today’s post “Bits and Pieces” or “Little Slices” when I found the quote above. Another lovely reminder of what I have learned by watching Akiko go about her days here in Hawaii.
Even something as seemingly mindless and little as cleaning the floor, she does with total absorption and mindfulness. Watching her, I see her total concentration. Her preparation of a room for a new guest at the B&B becomes a meditation or prayer.
Today I am sharing a collection of misc. photos that I’ve taken. There is no central theme or story, except that there are no little things. Each photo represents an aspect of experience here, a moment of beauty experienced.
