Praise for Go Slowly, Breathe and Smile “This beautiful book is a feast for the senses and pure nourishment for the soul.” —Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance “These simple and deep words from Thich Nhat Hanh interwoven into the delightfully tender and colorful collages by Rashani Réa have made the living dharma available to the mainstream.” —Peter Russell, author of The Global Brain “I am very happy Rashani has put together this wonderful book of her art with Thây’s sayings for you to benefit from and enjoy.” —Sister Chân Không, author of Learning True Love “Thich Nhat Hanh said, ‘The more you understand, the more you love. The more you love, the more you understand.’ Seeing Rashani’s stunning collages, I have the distinct feeling that I’m understanding and loving the moment in a way I hadn’t before. Her art and this book will grow your capacity to understand, and your capacity to love.” —Dawna Markova, author of Living a Loved Life “What a rare treat when the delicacy of images amplifies an already profound message! Rashani’s extraordinary collages perfectly mirror Thich Nhat Hanh’s simple yet powerful teachings. An exquisite collection.” —James Baraz, author of Awakening Joy “Thich Nhat Hanh writes, ‘Our own life has to be the message.’ Thây’s life has touched millions in this world—a message of peace, interbeing, love, and present-moment awareness. Rashani’s life, like her art, also conveys a beautiful message of truth. This book is a celebration of the beauty and radiance of each expression, each grain of true golden sand.” —Dorothy Hunt, author of Ending the Search: From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness “Thich Nhat Hanh’s message is not only deceptively simple and deeply true, it’s also beautiful, elegant, and poetic. Rashani’s art perfectly complements Thây’s poetic words. Both tap deeply into the web of life that underlies and connects all. In Go Slowly, Breathe and Smile, Thây and Rashani li� the veil a little and offer us a glimpse of the Way.” —Paul Tingen, author of Miles Beyond: The Electric Explorations of Miles Davis “Go Slowly, Breathe and Smile is simply beautiful. As a profoundly co-creative interaction, it touches my heart, inspires my spirit, and gives me faith in existence.” —Carol Stewart, The Mystery School, Nelson, British Columbia “Go slowly, breathe and smile; and allow Rashani’s beautiful art and Thich Nhat Hanh’s deeply wise sayings to accompany you along the way.” —Joan Halifax, author of Standing at the Edge go slowly, breathe and smile Also by Thich Nhat Hanh Being Peace Breathe, You Are Alive!
