# 2023-06-20 - The Good News by Thich Nhat Hanh | |
The good news | |
they do not print. | |
The good news | |
we do print. | |
We have a special edition every moment, | |
and we need you to read it. | |
The good news is that you are alive, | |
that the linden tree is still there, | |
standing firm in the harsh winter. | |
The good news is that you have wonderful eyes | |
to touch the blue sky. | |
The good news is that your child is there before you, | |
and your arms are available: | |
hugging is possible. | |
They only print what is wrong. | |
Look at each of our special editions. | |
We always offer the things that are not wrong. | |
We want you to benefit from them | |
and help protect them. | |
The dandelion is there by the sidewalk, | |
smiling its wondrous smile, | |
singing the song of eternity. | |
Listen. You have ears that can hear it. | |
Bow your head. | |
Listen to it. | |
Leave behind the world of sorrow, | |
of preoccupation, | |
and get free. | |
The latest good news | |
is that you can do it. | |
