With Every Breath

With every breath I take today, I vow to be awake;
And every step I take, I vow to take with a grateful heart
So I may see with eyes of love into the hearts of all I meet,
To ease their burden when I can And touch them with a smile of peace.

You are anchored means you cannot travel far. Identification is a refuge. A refuge needs protection

The root of suffering is attachment

“The root of suffering is attachment” - Buddha An important teaching that we all need to work on. Non-attachment doesn’t mean to disconnect from your loved ones and lead a life of a hermit, but to be able to live amidst all this and accept the impermanence of all things. It means to go with the natural flow of life and not be attached to any of these things that the thought of losing it makes you angry or annoyed. Its only when you become attached, that all the problems and negative emotions arise. But when you don’t cling to things, it becomes easier to simply let go of the excess or things that don’t serve you any more.
