Mindfulness and Modern Life

An online acquaintance of mine writes for Wired and Tricycle magazines and he's written an article that I thought might interest people here:

Thanks for sharing, Chris.

I don't always enjoy "mindfulness" articles, as they can tend toward the pop-psychology/spirituality of the day. But there's some really good stuff in this one. I like the Chade-Meng Tan quote about thinking of the mind as an ocean. I also appreciated John Tarrant's comment about how awareness is always going on, even when the foreground mind is scattered. Great stuff.
