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.

Thanks for posting these, Sister Lura; I look forward to them. As for this offering, mindfulness in a way I'll always remember...at least twice a day, which, for me, is progress!

Peace and Love,
Tgumster
