Awakening
Monday, August 9th, 2010“Mindsight” is our ability to see the space between the objects of our attention, as well as the objects themselves.
Awakening
Sunday, August 8th, 2010The bigger picture becomes more focused- illuminated- when you let go of sweating too many of the minute details that distract our attention and burden our awareness.
