It's easy to think mindfulness is about your mind.
Mindfulness is about putting the phone down
when someone small has something big to say.
It's tasting your mother's cooking
like it's the first time.
It's feeling the first rain
instead of rushing to get out of it.
It's the breath between what you feel and what you say.
None of us get these moments twice.
But we all deserve to actually be there for them,
while they're still happening.
Mindfulness isn't about your mind.
It's about your life.
