I find a level of mindfulness in what you write on twitter about food - it is less about what you are eating than your awareness and presence in that moment. Losing our minds in grief over the tragedy in Japan, or the other tragedies in our world, will not do anything to change them. Allowing ourselves to be pulled into an energy of panic will not help those people who are affected. When we ground ourselves, however each of us do that, we can truly be of service... and quietly pray.
