Mindfulness Meditation (For Everyday Life)

for the manufacturers. No mining, no steel for the
steel workers. No food, no steel workers. No rain, no
food. No sunlight, no rain. No conditions for star and
planet formation in the formative universe, no
sunlight, no Earth. These relationships are not always
simple and linear. Usually things are embedded in a
complex web of finely balanced interconnections.
Certainly what we call life, or health, or the biosphere,
are all complex systems of interconnections, with no
absolute starting point or end point
So we see the futility and the danger of letting our
thinking make any thing or circumstance into an
absolutely separate existence without being mindful
of interconnectedness and flux. Everything is related
to everything else and, in a way, simultaneously
contains everything else and is contained by
everything else. What is more, everything is in flux.
Stars are born, go through stages, and die. Planets
also have a rhythm of formation and ultimate demise.
New cars are already on their way to the junk heap
even before they leave the factory. This awareness
might truly enhance our appreciation of
impermanence and help us to take things and
circumstances and relationships less for granted
while they are around. We might appreciate life more,
people more, food more, opinions more, moments
more, if we perceive, by our own looking more deeply
