This point is essential: mindfulness tethers the mind to the present. Initially this takes effort, but this effort is applied with a very light touch. It’s like brushing your teeth: you brush, you get distracted, and you just naturally come back. No big deal. By gently returning to the present, our mind calms down, and everything seems workable.

Yes, that's true, Amanda. By gently returning to the present. I've been doing this for years now. Whenever I need myself to get out of some feeling or situation, I just breathe and observe them. They sooth the heart.
Beautiful words and I love that illustration. Thank you!
