The more I learn and study, the more I unlearn falsehood and assumptions, incorrect judgments and prejudice. The massive, incorrect model I have had of the world comes crashing down.
All I am left with is a truth that is small, unobtrusive, flexible. Although my model of the world is smaller, it is more inclusive, healthy and loving, and enduring. I am unlearning limits and bounds to uncover something unlimited and beyond language.
When I bring up mindfulness, many of my friends look at me like I just disclosed being from Mars. The fact is, however, we are reminded to be present and pay attention (the essence of mindfulness) throughout our lives:
Pay attention in class… Look at me when I’m talking to you… Don’t be texting while driving or talking to someone… Stop and smell the roses…
Mindfulness is not new. Calling it mindfulness, and acknowledging its importance, is the only thing new about it.
I learned something very important this last year:
The thinker and the thought are one. I am not a person in the world having a thought- I am a thought being expressed in the world by way of a person.
When my thoughts are on loving another, and are given expression in the things I do, then I am not merely a person DOING love- I AM love.
