We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

Today we reclaim what it means to be people of faith. We are escalating the call for a moral revival, a revolution in values. We are putting justice, equity and human dignity at the forefront of our country. Someone is hurting my people–we must not be silent #PoorPeoplesCampaign

Another way of looking at mindfulness is that we’re learning to use our thoughts and emotions as information instead of subconscious triggers. We observe our thoughts and emotions as a way of gathering information we can use consciously to make mindful decisions about our lives.

Family, let’s stay out of @WaffleHouse until the corporate office legitimately and seriously commits to 1) discussion on racism, 2) employee training, and 3) other plans to change; and until they start to implement changes. https://t.co/NJWFOBKN7i

I believe Gina Haspel is a patriot who loves our country & has devoted her professional life to its service & defense. However, her role in overseeing the use of torture is disturbing & her refusal to acknowledge torture’s immorality is disqualifying. https://t.co/ocDtdqU2Sx

No matter how deep your meditation practice, you will still sometimes get angry, get sad, get frightened, have bad days.

The fact that I even have to say (and often) this is a measure of how infantile the field is in general.
