With love and honour, attend presently. 💘
Made specially for the first anniversary of the passing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, “I Have Arrived, I Am Home” is a new documentary from filmmaker Max Pugh (A Cloud Never Dies, Walk With Me). The film includes footage and commentary on Thich Nhat Hanh’s return to his native Vietnam, where he lived from 2018 until his passing on 22 January 2022.
The International Plum Village community is making this film available to everyone for free to honor our dear teacher and inspire viewers to walk the path of mindful living. It premieres on the Plum Village YouTube channel at 1:30am on January 22 in Vietnam time, exactly 1 year after Thich Nhat Hanh’s passing. (On most other continents it is January 21– 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST / 7:30pm CET.) The film will be freely available to view at any time after the premiere.

My Soft Edges
*Eating disorder trigger warning*
All my edges have been Softened. All my hollows filled out. Every sign of my pain erased. Except of course everything that never can be. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it. The ache in my bones reminding me I was alive. The ache in my soul finally manifesting in a way people could see my hurt. Reminding me I was alive. You have to be living to be dying. All my edges sharp edges have been softened. Little pockets of flesh pad them down. Away. Out of sight. I suppose they are supposed to do the same thing with the pain. Maybe not though. Maybe they know exactly what they're doing. The padded edges, my padded body. My own quilted isolation chamber. My pain isn't their problem anymore. My cries padded down. Away. Out of sight. All my edges have been smoothed. It makes my pain a little easier to swallow for them. All my hollows filled out. It makes me it a softer thing to brush aside. But me? I am still here. Crying out in this padded cell. Still cutting myself on all the sharp edges and trying to fill these deep deep hollows
