Well, did a lot of soul searching and thinking (danger, danger) and I realized my higher power should boil down to that one quintessential element which is the core of my sobriety and of my being. It came to me, Mindfullness. My life has been larfely lived regreting the past, fearing the future and acting without real examination of consequences. "I am so I do."
Mindfulness is not just a word or a discourse by the Buddha, but a meaningful state of mind. It means we have to be here now, in this very moment, and we have to know what is happening internally and externally. It means being alert to our motives and learning to change unwholesome thoughts and emotions into wholesome ones. Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.-- Ayya Khema, 'Be an Island'
