Are You Waiting… by Sharon Salzberg I used to feel, very early in my practice, that mindfulness was awaiting me somewhere out there; that it was going to take a lot of effort and determination, but somehow, some day, after a great deal of struggle, I was going to claim my moment of mindfulness—sort of like planting a flag at the top of a mountain. My view of the matter was enlarged and my understand ing transformed when I realized that mindfulness wasn’t inaccessible or remote; it was always right there with me. The moment I remembered it—the moment I noticed that I was forgetting to practice it—there it was! My mindfulness didn’t need to get better, or be as good as somebody else’s. It was already perfect.
