Yesterday was a furious, headlong dash through the city, to the airport and onto New Orleans for my step-brother’s wedding. For the most part we will be suffounded by swarms of people that we have never met before and my first inclination whenever I meett new people is to immediately judge and categorize them. Add the fact that most of them will be drinking, loud and boisterous and I am certain that my habitual response would be one of aversion and negativity. Being that seeing the goodness of others is the proximate cause of metta, I undertake to dwell only on the goodness of all who I meet today.
May all beings be happy!
