The crucial factor influencing how well we can respond in any given situation seems to be the level of mindfulness we can bring to bear upon the moment. If we don’t care to be present, unconscious decision-making systems will function to get us through to the next moment, albeit in the grips of (often flawed) learned behaviors and conditioned responses. If, on the other hand, we can increase the amount of conscious awareness present by manifesting mindfulness, we expand the range of our possible responses. Even if disposed to anger, we can choose to act with kindness. This is the essence of our freedom in an otherwise heavily conditioned system.

Not wearing his medal or Canada sweater, but so what. Duncan Keith is my player of the tournament. Seven games, six assists, plus six, two penalty minutes, average ice time per game: 21 minutes,
+6! Give it up for the D. Unsung hero!
FWIW:
Sunday’s game is on pace to finish as the highest rated hockey telecast in the United States since 1980.
Excluding the NFL, the 17.6 overnight for the game is the second-highest of the year for any sporting event.
