Thich Nhat Hanh
"Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be
welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis;
because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The
mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart
and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would
have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing
should be treated more carefully than anything else. In
mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and
teapot are all sacred."
