This is art by Ruby, age 3 (who told me it’s okay to share) and I know I’m biased but I think it’s pretty awesome.

Feelings come and go
like clouds in a windy sky.
Conscious breathing
is my anchor.

"To eat good food or hear words of praise usually gives rise to a pleasant feeling. Flying into a rage or having a toothache is an unpleasant feeling. These feelings usually push us around, and we become like clouds blown in the wind. Our feelings of peace and joy will be more stable and lasting if we know the source of our so-called neutral feelings. The essence of happiness is a body that is not in pain and a heart and mind that are not oppressed by anxiety, fear, or hatred. Sitting in meditation, we can arrive at a stable feeling of joy, realizing the stillness of body and the clarity of mind. We are no longer pushed around by these 'roots of affliction' (Sanskrit, klesha), and we experience a feeling of well-being. The necessary condition for the existence of peace and joy is the awareness that peace and joy are available."

-Thich Nhat Hanh (Present Moment Wonderful Moment)
