The last ten hours were spent in a panic and a fury and now, on a cold and half-empty platform, I feel as though I have been chewed up and spit out here like a piece of unwanted gum by the defilements. At work I will have moments where I recall the Dhamma and try to bring it to my mind and mingle my mind with it but the force of my past kamma seems to overwhelm me and I slipped under the waves of confusion and greed. How to remember this place of calm?
