This morning I was only able to sneak twenty minutes of formal meditation this morning because I didn’t wake up early enough to get in my sitting before the kids woke up. I guess I could have been upset but I wasn ‘t. I could also have easily been disturbed by the fact that my meditation hasn’t been the same since my family returned from their visit but it really doesn’t surprise or alarm me. Would I like for the ease and bliss of last weeks sits to return? Of course, but I’ve become even more convinced in the reality of kamma and that by focusing on developing the causes the results will come without fail. It’s really just a matter putting the work in and having patience.
