The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World

by Haemin Sunim

The whole universe is contained in an apple wedge in a lunch box. Apple tree, sunlight, cloud, rain, earth, air, farmer’s sweat are all in it. Delivery truck, gas, market, money, cashier’s smile are all in it. Refrigerator, knife, cutting board, mother’s love are all in it. Everything in the whole universe depends on one another. Now, think about what exists in you. The whole universe is in us.

Without love, our lives would pass us by in the blink of an eye. Love has the power to stop the world for a moment.

You are beautiful not because you are better than others but because there is only you who can smile like that. May you fall in love with your unique self.
