Broken

In troubled times I turn to books more often, more frequently for help and wisdom, and always find comfort in them.

A thai master’s teaching has been echoing in me for days, so I leave it here for you.

“This cup is already broken. You may think it is intact, beautifully strong and in perfect condition, but I know that sooner or later I will drop it or somebody else will push it unintentionally to the ground and make it fall and broke it into pieces. Until then I cherish every moment when I drink from it. Knowing its fate I love it even more.”
