Cattāri Brahmavihārā

Maybe it has been the glacial stress or the long hours but for whatever reason I did not wake up early enough to get my morning routine in and I suffered badly for it today. It is almost as if I sit atop a bubbling cauldron and my practice is the pressure valve which keeps it all from spilling over. And, spill over it did today without the grounding of bhavana.

So, because I hold myself so dear I make the aditthana to rouse myself to practice even if it be only 15 minutes in order to secure my own short and long term happiness.
