this article in the NY times today (thanks ashlee) about mindfulness had this old story come to mind: Akido in Action: Doing combat with the essence of love by Terry Dobson. I was happy to find it easily on Google...did I find it in this magazine in 1983? I'm not sure, it was a long time ago, but I remember reading it changed my life. The NY times article talks about the pitfalls of mindfulness in a humorous way. What Terry's story illustrates is that mindfulness is merely the open door for love to enter...and that it's love, the demonstration of love, the embodiment of love, that heals. I hope it's a true story...thanks Terry. Photo is from http://www.terrydobson.com/
