Contemplative Monday



EFFORT WITH A LIGHT TOUCH


"This point is essential:


mindfulness tethers the mind to the present.


Initially this takes effort,


but this effort is applied  with a very light touch.


It's like brushing your teeth:


you brush, you get distracted,


and you just naturally come back.


No big deal. By gently returning to the present,


our mind calms down, and everything seems workable."
