Being mindful and focusing on one single task is great. But what happens when your two-year-old rips you out of your zen state? We admire people like Thomas Jefferson
for their contributions, but if I had someone taking care of my house and washing my clothes, I could invent macaroni and cheese and become a polymath too.
I've noticed this: most people with something to say on mindfulness, peacefulness, and general love-the-world-ness don't have kids. Daycare? Limited schedules? Constant interruptions? Where does each one belong when balancing the domestic life with the mindful life?
I'm still working on that...
