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."
