Serenity
Serenity, n: The state or quality of being serene.
1: a disposition free from stress or emotion [syn: repose, quiet, placidity, tranquillity, tranquility] 2: the absence of mental stress or anxiety [syn: peace, peacefulness, peace of mind, repose, heartsease, ataraxis]
This is something that we all seem to lack, but need to find a measure of in order to exist in this world. Or at least I know that I need it bad!!
But I did go to see the movie last night, based off the SciFi TV series “Firefly.” A slow start, but it kept a lot of the original crew from the show. I enjoyed it, and that is what mattered the most to me last night. I needed a night for my own thing before kissing everything else good-bye. But if you are looking to watch it, perhaps wait until the DVD comes out and rent it then. By all standards, this movie should not have actually existed. Joss Whedon decided that the fans were the ones responsible for the movie’s creation judging from fan sites and sales on the DVDs. But I will leave that decision up to you.
Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn't more complicated that that. It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it. ~Sylvia Boorstein
