The comments and ideas posted on this blog are intended to be an assessment of why one should and how one can live mindfully. The intent is to provoke thought about one's own life and not to give directions on how to live.
The perspective of the author is primarily Buddhist, but from a Buddhist whose initial values were Christian. The author began his life in a germanic area of America and has been heavily influenced by his germanic upbringing.
Also, the author is moving toward the later years of his life. His pace of life has slowed to a stroll, which makes it much easier to observe and digest life's events. Hopefully the observations will be of some value to others.
Namaste, Shinkaku
