If you throw enough mud at something, then some of it will inevitably stick. And so it goes with the journey of mindfulness and awareness.

I have been on this journey for over a year now and it remains a daily challenge. The whole thing of disconnecting from random thoughts, mostly from the past, is not an easy gig. A bit like the whole business of attempting to become a competent classical guitarist in one’s middle age. And so it seems that persistence is the key word. As long as I persist then the bundle of sticking mud should continue to grow.

At least that’s the theory.
