Always Safe

It’s like when you’re flying in an airplane. Whenever severe turbulence comes along, the seat belt keeps you from getting thrown around the cabin. Mindful breathing is your seat belt in everyday life - it keeps you safe here in the present moment. If you know how to breathe, how to sit calmly and quietly, how to do walking meditation, then you have your seat belt and you’re always safe.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh
