Vernon Hospital, where his dad was a patient. Unbeknownst to him this would be the last time he saw his dad alive. He waved to him in recognition but did not get to say “I love you.”
From then on, his unconscious focus has been—and still is—trying to mindfully, lovingly, and compassionately remain within each moment.
Konrad is currently a student of Thich Nhat Hanh in the Plum Village tradition and a member of the Compassionate Heart Sangha in Encinitas, California. He regularly shares meditation with the inmates at California’s R. J. Donovan State Correctional Facility.view less
