Disclaimer:
I try to recognize wisdom when I see & hear it, so I prefer quoting much wiser people than writing my own material. When I do write "my own" material, it may appear gnomic, but I'm trying to pass on something I've found to be valuable, perhaps even wise - which certainly does not originate from me.
About me
I'm John Lovas
retired from practicing oral & maxillo-facial pathology, being a university professor & administrator. I now have more quality time for family, meditating, reading, pickle-ball, silent meditation retreats, yoga, and facilitating MBSR programs. I also write blogs & lecture about mindfulness-related topics.
