“Sir, nobody agrees with you at all. I know Donald Trump is telling you to tell people this, but now it looks like you’re just telling us this, which makes you look like a very uneducated person in a very powerful position. You should lose your job.”

True story...

On the bus ride to work today, I sat across from a young mother and her son. How old was he? Two? Three. I can’t be sure. Young enough to still need a stroller. But also, apparently, old enough to navigate TikTok. The little boy sat facing his mom, quiet as a mouse, expertly scrolling through videos, skipping the ones that didn’t hold his attention.

Then the mother took her phone back. It was her turn to scroll.

He wailed the way toddlers do when they fall down and hurt themselves. Anyone in the back of the bus might have wondered what terrible accident had taken place up front. What they could not see was the little boy reaching desperately for his mother—or more precisely, grasping for her phone. “Mama!” he screamed. “Mama!!!”

At one point, I thought he might climb out of the stroller. He gathered one leg beneath him and looked like he was going to make a lunge for it.

Then the mom yelled–“Shut up!”--and went back to scrolling. But this did not stop her son’s hysterics.

Finally, after a few minutes, she returned the phone with a sigh. And there was peace and quiet. Everyone, and especially the little boy, seemed content. Everyone except the mom, who now looked painfully bored.

When I got off the bus, I remembered there’d been one intervening moment of solace. For just a moment, the boy paused his wailing. His gaze had been drawn outside. The bus was crossing a bridge. The boy looked at the river and the cars passing in the opposite direction. Was it one second or two? I can’t be sure. Not long enough.

On-the-cushion mindfulness means that you sit beautifully but you walk the streets neurotically.
If we really apply our practice to our mind, then it’s with us everywhere we go.
