PaperFrog‘s cute new froggy design? It’s brilliant. The whole blog is brilliant. PaperFrog is a Buddhist inspired journal, and the most recent post made on Valentine’s Day is typical of the great content that can be found there:

Mindful love

“One of the first writings I came across from Thich Nhat Hanh was a deceptively simple teaching on the essence of love. In a nutshell, Nhat Hahn reminds us that the most meaningful thing we can do for our loved ones is simply to be present. Not present in the sense of “quality time” or just being at hand ? present in a deep, aware fashion that opens each of us to real communication. In other words, presence as an extension of the practice of mindfulness.

It’s easier to imagine this concept than really practice it. I find it difficult enough to still my thoughts in meditation, much less while interacting with another person. It’s our nature to let our minds wander, imagining what it might be the best thing to say next, wondering how we are coming across to the other person, thinking about pretty much anything other than just listening.”
