I'm going to guess, of the regular readers here in the forum, none of you is familiar with Erykah Badu. And that's ok. I've dug her since her debut, Baduizm, dropped in 1997. I don't know anything about her personally or what her life story is, but, who she presents herself to be in the following article, is something to aspire to. Such a tuned in person.
Now, if you bother to read the interview, great. Hope you enjoy it. If you don't, that's ok, too. But I think what she says about being in the moment and seeing that the person you are looking at is a person rather than what your ego, or your eyes and senses tell you, is just spot on. And I could only wish for more people like that in this world.

Put the bong aside, have some Doritos and take a nap.
Not buying, it, huh? That's ok.
