“A Taste of Mindfulness
Have you ever had the experience of stopping so completely, of being in your body so completely, of being in your life so completely, that what you knew and what you didn’t know, that what had been and what was yet to come and the way things are right now no longer held even the slightest hint of anxiety or discord? A moment of complete presence beyond striving, beyond mere acceptance, beyond desire to escape or fix anything or plunge ahead. A moment of pure being no longer in time. A moment of pure seeing pure feeling. A moment in which life simply is, and that isness grabs you by all your senses, all your memories, by your very genes, by your loves, and welcomes you home.”
