Cultivating Mindfulness

This is it.

In Wherever You Go, There You Are, Jon Kabat-Zinn suggests that you can cultivate mindfulness by paying attention to --- or capturing --- each moment in time. But trying to keep your attention focused on the here and now requries that you continuously remember to be aware of your focus. Use you breathing to help you do this. Tune into each breath --- feel it --- without feeling the need to change how you are breathing. In becoming more aware of your breathing, you become more concerned with the here and now.

WHY DOGS LIVES ARE SO MUCH SHORTER THAN HUMANS:
People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice.

Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long
