I do wish I could claim the accolades this morning, but cannot. Last night, after a rather intense and bitter argument with my wife, I couldn't bear to sit down and meditate. The thought of spending any more time, of being any closer, to those thoughts and feelings, made me run for the nearest distraction.Guy wrote:That's reassuring to know, too!!!thereductor wrote:So yes, I did my hour.

Glad to hear your persistent effort is paying off!!!

Tonight I will sit, of course. I resolve that from this day on I will sit even with the most frightful and awful experiences that come my way.
And whatever road you take, I hope that it is well paved and smooth.
