I have left the bus and am walking over to the Archbishop´s Palace where I have my office. It is still early morning and as usual I have Harry Potter and Stephen Fry in my years. As I walk I pass the cathedral, and suddenly I have to stop, turn of the sound of the audio book and just look. The sight I see every day, the sight which changes every day. The cathedral. My cathedral.
I continue into the Archbishop´s courtyard, the sight have the same beauty and a word is forming in my mind - mindfulness. Yes, my mind is filling up with all this beauty, it is overflowing. Mindfulness, to be fully here and now.
I saw a new Christmas magazine the other day, with the title Mindfulness. I guess it sells like varme hveteboller, lukewarm sweet pastries, as we say in Norway. The weeks leading up to Christmas, the weeks of Advent, which are meant to be a quiet time of preparations, is becoming more and more busy, filled to the brim and beyond. Mindfulness. I am not going to buy the magazine, but I do want to live my life with a mindful soul. I do want to live every moment. I do want to carpe diem.
