Cattāri Brahmavihārā

It’s hard to believe it’s already 2:15pm and I’m on my way to Brooklyn to rehearse for a show with a band I’ve never played with and whose music I’ve never laid eyes on. Still, a few of the band members are family friends so I’m doing this as a favor (and also to fulfill my commitment to putting others’ wants before my own).

Not much to write today but it’s been a steady struggle to prevent unskillfulstates of aversion and negativity from arising and swamping me just due to the standard issue problems of family life. So, just doing the best I can to remain quiet when necessary by holding my tongue and taking those few moments I can to bring up some good themes for reflection and to brighten the mind. May everyone enjoy a peaceful Sunday!
