My wife and I wrote an entire book on mindful parenting called Everyday Blessings, because you can live like your whole life and raise a whole bunch of children and have no idea who they are.

There's no place that you turn, I think, where you can't take this moment and drink in the beauty right in this moment. So we don't get all caught up in anxiety and fear of nuclear war or what's going to happen in Ukraine and Russia or the monstrosity of Gaza and the death and destruction. It's all happening and it's always happened, only worse and worse with nuclear weapons and stuff like that.

But at the same time, there's also the beauty. So we can't forget the beauty And we have to actually exercise that muscle so that we can actually see the beauty and what better place to do it than close to home. One reason to do yoga and to meditate is to actually start with your own beauty.

Now it sounds very narcissistic to say something like that, but every single human being is a miraculous being. So from that point of view, we can start here and recognize that we're already okay in this moment. underneath all our likes and dislikes and opinions and the things that we did wrong in our lives that we regret, still we're fundamentally okay.
