Mindfulness

"The practice is to remind yourself that in those unavoidable moments of darkness that come with the privilege of living in a human skin, it is the nature of the light to give itself to you unconditionally." Dennis Merritt Jones

It seems that the subject of mindfulness is everywhere nowadays.  The idea is to be present to one's own life, without aversion or attachment, without resisting what is before us.  To be fully present is a challenge for humans.  We are so often in our minds, and probably have learned to feel superior for being in our minds -- when what is needed for serenity is to be present.  Feeling what is going on.  Observing without judgment.  Not thinking of the past or the future.  Being present now.
