THE BREAD OF LIFE

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • The “bread of life” provides nourishment of body, mind, heart, and soul in the way we mindfully eat, breathe, and connect with compassion, peace, and equanimity in the present moment. Awareness is the sourdough starter which transforms the ordinary into the sacred. Like starter maintenance, paying deliberate daily attention to our attention is essential.

  • When mindful compassion is our food, we never hunger for meaning.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “Bread is the gift of the whole universe: the earth, the sky, the rain, the sun, the river, the wheat, the farmer.”— Thich Nhat Hahn

  • “You are the sky. Everything else — it’s just the weather.”—Pema Chodron
