We have a lot of special day. For example: The Father’s Day, The Mother’s Day, Labor’s Day, Earth’s Day, etc. On a day, there was a child visiting Plum Village. She asked: “Why don’t people announce “Today is Today’s Day”?” The children all agreed to cheer today and called to “Today’s Day”
On the day, means Today, we won’t think about Yesterday and Tomorrow, just only today. Today that we are happy in the present. When we are drinking, we know we are drinking. When we are walking, we know we are walking and feel joyful and gently, and more.
Today is a magical day, the best magical day. It does not mean that Yesterday and Tomorrow are not magical days. But Yesterday is passed away and Tomorrow is not coming. Today is only day presenting with us and we should live worthy. Thus, Today is the most important of us.
Every morning when we wake up, we decide to make Today is the most important day. Before going to school or office, we will sit down and breathe slowly for a few minutes, enjoy the in-and-out breath and smile. It’s very magical to starting a new day like that. Always remind us that will live with this spirit during the whole day, remember to turn back to the breath, looking others by compassion, smiling happily and appreciate the gift life has to offer.
“Wishing you have a beautiful Today”. This is not just a compliment or a wish but a practice.
