Sometimes
Thich Nhat Hhan
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
Sometimes, the greatest act of love is simply to be present. Thich Nhat Hanh’s words remind us that healing doesn’t always require answers or actions—only a gentle, open-hearted witness to suffering and joy alike. In a world that urges us to fix, explain, or escape, this poem invites us to just be—softly, silently, and fully.
