lightfoote for the turn-on to this article: Quiet Justice.
Notes for myself:
"mindfulness—a meditative, moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, relationships, and external circumstances."
Importance of the "ability to be fully present in difficult situations and to respond more thoughtfully—less reactively—to challenging situations"
"the core values cultivated through mindfulness practice—empathy, compassion, a sense of interconnection and impermanence"
This last bit puts me in mind of the rules I state when teaching someone how to play Fluxx and/or when describing some of my Rules Of Life: (1) don't get too attached to anything, and, (2) don't take anything personally.
