The pathos of the human life teaches one that idolatry of the ego is a sham. Only by living in harmonious accord with the entire world can a person distill happiness that flows from cultivating a state of mindfulness.

We live mindfully by harvesting evocative scenes to pay attention to including the mountains and oceans, flowers and trees, love and friendship, music and literature, art and poetry.

Living an engaged and contemplative existence allows a person to glean the quintessential experience of living mindfully.

A person must let go of negative emotions and master their mind in order to achieve happiness.

We each possess the inner strength of mind to discover a state of knowledge, inner peace, and bliss.

Mindfulness can serve as an antidote to living a fragmental life riven with deleterious delusions and illusions.

Living in the moment is not an excuse to be a ne'er-do-well. A person can give up on life or immerse themselves in all matters that are essential to express our humanity. I will accept both the joy and the responsibility of living a meaningful existence. A person’s ultimate expression of his or her being will exhibit itself in their passionate activities including those involving work, art, nature, friendship, and love.
