BREATHE—YOU ARE ALIVE

“Zenfully Quool Quotes”

Currently featuring “The Art of Living”

By Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

I treasure the days and hours I have left to live.

They are so precious, I vow not to waste a single one.

I have been practicing not wasting a single moment.

Whether I’m walking or working, teaching or reading,

drinking tea or eating a meal with my community,

 I treasure every moment.

I have been living every breath, every step, and every action,

deeply.

Wherever I walk,

I combine these words with each step.

As I breathe in I say,

“Breathing legendary breaths,” and as I breathe out I say,

“Living legendary moments, wonderful moments.”

Happiness is there at every step,

and I know that tomorrow I will have no regrets.

Breathing is a kind of celebration,

celebrating the fact of being alive, still alive.

Zenfully Quool Quotes Quommentary

by rog

Let happiness be with you with every breath.

The only reality…

Is the ever-present ‘now’ moment.

Don’t grasp on to any moment, thinking you can make it last.

The only thing that will last is the desperate attempt to live in the past.

So,

Don’t pine about the past, or fret about the future.

All we have is ….

Right Now.

Let it be alright…

Just…

Let it be.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
