iously adv…he present moment, paying attention to details of the experience, without judgment of what you see. If, for example, you observe the breakfast dishes in your sink, don’t think of them in terms of the “stories” around the dishes, or even the breakfast you had 15 minutes prior. Simply see the shapes and colors, textures, and sensations of them as a new experience, viewing them anew, much like a baby does with his/her attention moment by moment. Feel the water on your hands as you wash them. You’ll find these moments, accessed mindfully, are full of possibility. Beyond mere habit, they can become small openings, filled with grace. In these moments we can access our hopes, dreams, and aspirations for a better world, then consciously advance toward what we see with renewed energy.
