Lovely timing. I find Abrams' language often so dense I need a small scythe to cut thru the sensual images and lush verbage. And so I appreciate the simplicity with which you speak of Reciprocity.

But as with meditation, the goal, I think, is not to achieve a permanent state of mindfulness (which, even though it's what we aim for, is probably impossible for 99.9% of us anyway, at this stage of our evolution) but to keep exercising the 'mindfulness muscle' as much as we can.

I have discovered it is the only way I feel alive, when I am mindful -- and grateful. <br /><br />It is not so easy in daily life, but so simple as I walk the Camino. How long will it take me to walk to Santiago before I can apply to my life everywhere what I practice then?<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me :-)claire bangasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380558962103134334noreply@blogger.com
