Developed during a summer retreat at Plum Village, Thich Nhat Hanh's meditation center, these charming short verses were collected to help children and adults practice mindfulness throughout the day. The verses, or "gathas, " are designed to make everyday activities -- such as washing the dishes, driving the car, or turning on the television -- opportunities to return to a state of mindfulness.
