Comment: I read a book on "mindfulness" that I think was this one by Thich Nhat Hanh. (A former business partner/employer stole all my books from our joint office so I can’t pull it off the shelf.) During the reading of it I noticed his content dealt with the very thing I’d been trying to refine in my own behavior. A synchronistic reading of material I needed at the time, a la "when the student is ready…." I had arrived at his central theme on my own but he "gave me the details" more clearly than I could have explained them to anyone else. My personal choice of words was "attentiveness" but his choice carries a richer sense of healthy mental process. Sooner or later he will show up as a reference in something I write; may as well give him the credit now. However, I might have actually read his "Touching peace : practicing the art of mindful living" / Published: Berkeley, Calif. : Parallax Press, c1992, or possibly even the book "Moment by moment : the art and practice of mindfulness"-- / Author: Braza, Jerry. Published: Salt Lake City, Utah: Healing Resources, c1993. Another in the same vein is: Title The miracle of mindfulness! : A manual of meditation / Thich Nhat Hanh ; trans. by Mobi Warren ; with drawings by Vo Dinh.
