Mindfulness Is A Way Of Paying Attention,

Non-doing Has Nothing To Do With Being Indolent Or Passive. Quite The Contrary. It Takes Great Courage And Energy To Cultivate Non-doing, Both In Stillness And In Activity. Nor Is It Easy To Make A Special Time For Non-doing And To Keep At It In The Face Of Everything In Our Lives Which Needs To Be Done.

Discipline Provides A Constancy Which Is Independent Of What Kind Of Day You Had Yesterday And What Kind Of Day You Anticipate Today.

Mindfulness Meditation Is The Embrace Of Any And All Mind States In Awareness, Without Preferring One To Another.

Another Way To Look At Meditation Is To View Thinking Itself As A Waterfall, A Cascading Of Thought. In Cultivating Mindfulness, We Are Going Beyond Or Behind Our Thinking, Much The Way You Might Find A Vantage Point In A Cave Or Depression In The Rock Behind A Waterfall. We Still See And Hear The Water, But We Are Out Of The Torrent.

Mindful Parenting Is The Hardest Job On The Planet, But It's Also One That Has The Potential For The Deepest Kinds Of Satisfactions Over The Life Span, And The Greatest Feelings Of Interconnectedness And Community And Belonging.
