Mindfulness of pure present moment awareness guides us to the blessed joy of awakening. But can we still the interior tides of emotion and thought enough to taste that freedom? Everyday, devote time to witness habitual thought patterns and worldly attachments. Stopping in the silence of the heart, the causes of our suffering are seen for what they are. Anger, sorrow, grief and resentment gradually wither and we directly experience the flowering of timeless consciousness and universal compassion. This is the miracle of pure mindful awareness.
