What does it mean to be mindful? Over the years I have read different explanations of mindfulness. Does it mean paying attention? Being in the moment? Experiencing each breath from inhale to exhale? Does it mean all of the above? For me it does mean all of the above and it is what I have experience in my 30+ years of mindful meditation. Mindfulness to me is like a celebration of the present. It is a revelation of sorts of the nature of existence. It is here in this moment, here in this moment, here in this moment as time progresses. Can you imagine living each moment so completely? Is it possible? I think it is, which may be why I believe that I have lived a wonderful life so far. I have observed many amazing things and I have experienced pain that I thought would not end. It did and I survived. I am mindful. I am here, and here, and here yet again.
