Live this Day with Love | Song by Plum Village sisters

"It's going to change tomorrow
Because I vow to live this day with love."

This song is written by a young mindfulness practitioner in the Plum Village tradition of zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, and performed by several monastic sisters. It begins in a dangerous and seemingly helpless situation.

"There's a time
When I wish to do something more
But I'm all alone
I cannot be strong."

In the chorus, the author stops in the midst of her fear and loneliness to be in touch with the beautiful things still present in her life.

"It's time to stop
It's time to breathe
It's time to take care of ourself
It's not our fault
To take a walk
In peace and harmony."

Ultimately, she expresses the insight that guides her through the dark night toward the coming dawn.

"How can I heal a wounded heart
If I only see the dark?"
It’s going to change tomorrow
because I vow to live this day with love.”
