Cattāri Brahmavihārā

I hate to admit it but I have not made much of an effort to practice in the last two days. The sense of disappointment is palpable now at the end of the day as I sit outside my family’s tent being dined on by mosquitos and lisstening to the voices of the little ones whispering to their parents. Sadly I am not making near as much progress tonight with my seated meditation and am afraid of encouraging the unsleeping children to further awaken so I am foregoing walking meditation for the time being.  Betwixt the mosquitos and the meditation I think my best hope is equanimity.  I am the owner of my actions so there’s simply no use despairing. May all beings be free of pain and suffering.
