About Quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn

“When you have children, you realize how easy it is to not see them fully, and perhaps miss all those early years. If you are not careful, you can be too absorbed in work, and they will be only too happy to tell you about it later. Being a parent is one of greatest mindfulness practices of all.” quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn — Download Open image
