Mindfulness is the capacity to be present for this life - to be with the fullness of the human experience, with all its pleasure and pain, gain and loss, love and heartache.
Mindfulness is the gateway through which we can truly experience our life and everything it means to be in this human condition.
It is through mindfulness that we come fully and wholly into ourselves and our experience.
It is in Wholeness that we are at ease, and it is in fragmentation that all suffering lives. Such fragmentation occurs because the totality was too much; too overwhelming, too painful, too threatening. Disconnection from that which is too much protects us. And it divides us.
