Unfortunately I’m not able to observe the uposatha today. Instead I write this post sitting on a couch with four kids under six years of age watching the Lorax. And what does it feel like? Lots of aversion of course since I would rather be able to observe the attha-sila in the way I’m accustomed but this is precisely where I find myself. Because I’m the lone baby-sitter in a house full of kids today I’m afraid the best I can do is wish everyone the best possible uposatha and rejoice that my brothers and sisters in the Dhamma are able to practice. Sukhi hotu!
