Cattāri Brahmavihārā

I awoke with a start and immediately checked my emails to find a request from one of my clients to finish the copy for his website. He wasn’t pushy or irritated (from what I could tell through the email and my non-existent psychic powers) but I immediately felt a sense of urgency that had me out of bed and writing by 5am. Naturally I am of two minds about this but I need to make an effort not to allow myself to carried away into friendzied work mode before cleaning the mind. I mean, it is true that I didn’t go without coffee or brushing my teeth so why is it acceptable to go without meditation?

So, I’m thinking that I should make an agreement with myself to sit in meditation for a mere five minutes even on days like today. Hopefully, even with five minutes I will be able to see things a little more clearly and proceed calmly. That is the hope at least.
