Attention Means Attention | Tricycle

Un texto obre la atención, algo que va más allá del momento de meditación y puede ser parte de nuestro estado de consciencia cotidiana. Está en inglés pero vale la pena el esfuerzo.

Attention Means Attention | Tricycle

"Our problems arise when we subordinate this moment to something else, our self-centered thoughts: not just this moment, but what I want. We bring to the moment our personal priorities, all day long. And so our troubles arise.

When attention to the present moment falters and we drift into some version of "I have to have it my way," a gap is created in our awareness of reality as it is, right now. Into that gap pours all the mischief of our life. We create gap after gap after gap, all day long. The point of practice is to close those gaps, to reduce the amount of time that we spend being absent, caught in our self-centered dream."
