Gosh, it seems like I’ve always known about mindfulness since my uncle introduced me to it in the 70’s but it took years to acquire a semblance of discipline . I just looked up one of the first books I was exposed too, zen and the art of motorcycle repair, 1974! There was another but I can’t find it. Something about Buddha and a path. That was my uncle who lived in California of course!
