Quality of Mindfulness

Paying attention means meeting what happens before you name it, correct it or reject it. It is a quiet, precise and curious look, able to stay close to what we do not understand.

From this attention comes the wonder: not the astonishment for something exceptional, but the discovery that nothing is really ordinary when we are fully present.

And talking about it means letting what we have seen become a relationship. Mindfulness is this quality of contact: with experience, with ourselves and with life as it happens.
