Cattāri Brahmavihārā

Today is my daughter’s birthday and despite wishing it were otherwise, I find myself facing a lot of resistance to doing all of the things that need to be done to accomplish it. I feel pretty horrible to even be writing this but here, at least, I feel it’s important for me to bring these sorts of things out into the light of day. I think much of the difficulties I have been experiencing are simply due to the fact that I had to take care of some pretty large work obligations this morning in BK and had to rush back to prepare to drive the birthday crew out to the Rockkaways. If nothing else I can take joy and comfort in the fact that my little one will enjoy her birthday and I will do my level best to keep her blissfully ignorant of her father’s petty concerns.
