Daron Larson
Freelance Contemplative
"The primary focus of this path of choosing wisely...is learning to stay present. Pausing very briefly, frequently throughout the day, is an almost effortless way to do this. For just a few seconds we can be right here. Meditation is another way to train in learning to stay or...learning to come back, to return to the present over and over again."
~ Pema Chödrön, from Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears
