Once You've Seen
“Virtually all the world’s ills boil down to mindlessness. [Mindfulness] is not something you have to strain to do, it’s like those optical illusion brain teasers. Once you’ve seen there is another perspective, you can never not see that there’s another point of view.”
~ Ellen Langer, from "The Mindfulness Chronicles," by Cara Feinberg, Harvard Magazine, Sep/Oct 2010
