"In the Vietnamese epic poem Tale of Kieu, Kieu returns to the apartment of her beloved, Kim Trong, and finds him fast asleep at his desk, his head resting on a pile of books. Kim Trong hears Lieu's footsteps, but, not quite awake, he asks, "Are you really there, or am I dreaming?" Kieu replies, "Now we have the opportunity to see each other clearly. But if we do not live deeply in this moment, it will be only a dream."
You and your beloved one are here together. You have the chance to see each other deeply. But if you are not fully present, everything will be like a dream."
- Thich Nhat Hanh (The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching)
