An Opportunity Taken

We’re with the inlaws today to celebrate a cousin’s graduation from university. As always there seems to be much that needs doing and despite my initial inclination to allow the frenetic preparations to pass me by I took the first opportunity that presented itself to lend a hand. Yes, it may seem as if I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill but the idea that I can use my daily life to practice the paramis and meet the people in it with love and compassion has really begun to take hold in a non-conceptual way.

May we not allow any opportunity to practice pass. May we make of our lives garlands of virtue and good-will.
