Mindfulness is not another practice to be threaded into a necklace,
Even if it the most beautiful of all pearls.
Mindfulness is awareness of life.
On every moment, making contact with life
In front of and within ourselves.
It is not a prerogative of any wisdom or tradition,
It is the beating heart of all practices.
Thus, whenever mindfulness is brought up through a technical or sequenced aspect,
even though this may be pedagogical means to invite to an experience,
Mindfulness is not a means, it is the experience.
Therefore, do not practice mindfulness, be alive.
Inhale the delicate nectar of life
In the simplicity of each moment.
Embraced like this, it is not a way to awakening,
Mindfulness is awakening.

A question I saw in a book yesterday. Do you want to be the poet or the poem? Strikes me as leading in a similar direction
