Use both hands

I just wanted to share this is very insightful blog post on mindfulness, gratitude and using two hands:

But the most basic principle of hōrei can be expressed very simply: use both hands. Whatever you are doing, whenever possible, use two hands. If you are opening a door, open it with two hands. If you are shaking someone’s hand, use both hands. Even when it seems like overkill — like picking up a fork at the start of a meal — use two hands. Like so many aspects of Zen practice, this may seem silly or useless or like a waste of time, but if you really apply this, it will change the way you approach your life.
