I like to say that I'm tracing the intersection between big ideas and human experience, between theology and real life.
I make no apologies for the fact that I have a religious life of my own. I'm speaking as a Christian because I'm speaking as myself.
Buddhist mindfulness is about the present, but I also think it's about being real. Being awake to everything. Feeling like nothing can hurt you if you can look it straight on.
You can disagree with another person's opinions. You can disagree with their doctrines. You can't disagree with their experience.
