I'm Grateful for Thich Nhat Hanh

Word today that the Vietnamese Zen Buddhist master, Thich Nhat Hanh, is gravely ill, is worthy of reflection.  He has worked tirelessly for peace, for longer than I have been alive, .  He has influenced millions of people through his writings.  I first became interested in meditation from reading one of his books, and so I, like many others, owe him a great debt of gratitude.  His has been a life well lived, a giant contribution to humanity.  And yet, his life, like all of ours, will come to an end.  Let me, in some small way, be worthy of the gift he has given.
