Mindfulness makes our eyes, our heart, our non-toothache, the moon, and the trees
deep and beautiful. And when we touch our suffering with mindfulness, we begin
to transform it. Mindfulness is like a mother holding her baby in her arms and caring
for her baby’s pain. When our pain is held by mindfulness it loses some of its strength. . . .
Mindfulness recognizes what is there, and concentration allows you to be deeply
present with whatever it is. Concentration is the ground of happiness.
If you live twenty-four hours a day in mindfulness and concentration, one day is a lot.
Thich Nhat Hanh
