So tonight I would like you to practice mindfulness in the midst of getting ready. Pay attention to the details of the world we are privileged to live in; your bed, your water, your electricity and all that means, your safety, your hot water ( unlimited) …. the list goes on and on. You will not be the same when you return from Nepal in the nicest of ways. You will not see the world as you do tonight. You will be more thankful, more aware, more compassionate.
