Mindfulness is a miracle.
Zen master Thích Nhất Hạnh characterized our core practice as nothing short of a "miracle" to clarify the surprising power of simply noticing what is happening right now with non-judgmental awareness.

One way to tune further into this power, to refine our skill, is to ask, "How close? When we are triggered and come too close to our immediate experience, we can get captured or even overwhelmed. Yet when we are numbed out or seeking escape, so much can be gained by just coming a little bit closer.
What wisdom and guidance might we discover by finding the most helpful distance? How might this illuminate what is underway not just within ourselves, but with one another, our communities, and this aching world? This Sunday, we'll explore a refined form of mindfulness by practicing with proximity.
