Thought of the day

          Thinking about the buddhist word mindfulness-in a way , it seems a wrong word , why ? Because  we Westerners spend most of our time in the mind . However one could say , being mindful of the mind . Why ? because our thinking divides us from reality - instead of being PRESENT in mindfulness we are often elsewhere in our thoughts Instead of enjoying our breakfast we are " on line " Instead of ------being with someone or enjoying a landscape the veil of words comes between .
