ZÉLIE’S PAIN FALLS through the air like rain. It sinks into my skin. My chest heaves with her sobs. My heart rips with her anguish. And all the while I feel a terror unlike anything I’ve ever known. It crushes my soul. It destroys all will to live. This can’t be her world.… This can’t be the life Father built. But the longer her pain grips me, the more I realize: this fear is always there.
Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone

Jor-El Caraballo
Practicing mindfulness can seem abstract at first. It certainly was to me. But what I’ve learned is that when we use the senses we have available, we create a shortcut to present-centered living. Because the body naturally rests in the here-and-now, it proves itself a useful tool in mindfulness.
