Mindfulness..

 What is the buzz about?  Do..Be..Do..Be..Do...
A little insight?  What is presence?  Should we dip our toe in?  Presence could be defined as Practicing Being Human.  While the default is the practice of of listening to the small self and all of the chatter.  But the chatter is still there when I am practicing presence.  How about accepting the chatter and welcoming it.  Let it in the door, welcome it.  So it is beating you up, there is malice, anger, someone (yourself) calling you names.  I'm not good enough, I really messed up...Etc...  If we practice, presence, we soon learn that the chatter is what we have been programed to know; from my environment and people around me.  We do have the answers, if we will stop long enough to listen.  Get off of the phone, the computer, facebook.  Look at the emptiness, the loneliness, find out what it wants to teach you.  Take a look at nature.  Is that flower beginning to grow, not just outside but on the inside too.
There are infinite ways to suffer. There are infinite ways to wisdom.  Please tell me what you know, I am interested.  I want to hear the stories.  I know that I am not the only one.

LENS can help to find this presence, this practicing being human.  It can be like a soft spot, cool calm water, when there is turbulence all around.
