to smile



“Smiling is the most basic kind of peace work.” Thich Nhat Hanh 

(Your smile can relax and release tension from your entire body and bring peace to your mind.  It is important to smile. When we smile and are peaceful, everyone—our selves, our families, our societies—will benefit from our peace. Smiling is contagious.)

Practice smiling before it’s too late!  Here’s a poem to practice with:
Breathing in, I calm body and mind.
Breathing out, I smile.
