Mindfulness is so powerful that the fact that it comes out of Buddhism is irrelevant.

Just stopping, is a radical act of sanity and love.

The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness. Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.

From the perspective of meditation, every state is a special state, every moment a special moment.

There are a lot of different ways to talk about mindfulness, but what it really means is awareness.

Any really good scientist is as much an artist as a scientist. All the interesting stuff is found on the edge between knowing and not knowing. I know that sounds like a meditation teacher speaking, but when you're in the laboratory, or you're theorizing about physics, you need to know what you know, but if you can't get out from under that, you won't be able to make that insightful, first-time connection that nobody else has seen before.

The little things? The little moments? They aren't little.
