Being in the Now
To experience the world in the present moment, we need to step out of our mental concepts and use all our senses to directly experience life as it unfolds moment by moment.

Does a caterpillar look at a butterfly and say: “What’s wrong with me?” or “I’m so ugly, I wish I could look like that.” I doubt it. A caterpillar lives his caterpillar life moment-by-moment allowing the transformation to happen from within. Life force simply unfolds naturally, expressing the beauty that has been there all along.
Mindfulness is
the art of paying attention,
of listening to your heart.
Mindfulness helps us embody
the values we hold deeply
and express them in the world.
Between stimulus and response
there is a space.
In that space is our power
to choose our response.
In our response lies
our growth and our freedom.
