Buckminster Fuller himself was fond of stating that what seems to be happening at the moment is never the full story of what is really going on. He liked to point out that for the honey bee, it is the honey that is important. But the bee is at the same time nature's vehicle for carrying out cross-pollination of the flowers. Interconnectedness is a fundamental principle of nature. Nothing is isolated. Each event connects with others.

See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance , or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation - to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.

Make a list of what is really important to you. Embody it.

All the suffering, stress, and addiction comes from not realizing you already are what you are looking for.

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.

We call the effort to cultivate our ability to be in the present moment ‘practice’ or ‘meditation practice.’

Meditation is not about feeling a certain way. It's about feeling the way you feel.
