mindfulness and love

one of the straightforward characteristics
of
being mindful
is the ability to watch what's going on
in
emotions
or our body
or our gol darn thoughs
and just watch
without judgment

to be mindful of another person
is to see and hear and feel them,
as they are,
without judgment

Love and judgment don't mix
and
love as a feeling only goes so far
when we aren't getting our way
and feel stress

in stress we can be
mindful
or
mindless

mindless means we fall back on
programing
usually Ma and Pa

mindful means we watch our hurt or scared and angry
feelings
and thoughts
without judgment
and without believing
them

and hopeful communicate
about that

and then listen,
again,
without judgment to the other person's
stuff

listening
saying our truth
not judging

mindfulness and love
are necessary to each other
don't you think/ feel/ intuit?
