Cattāri Brahmavihārā

I am continually amazed at how easily I lose my way and forget my sense of purpose. Coming out of the other side of crisis I abrubtly reawaken to the fact that I have lost touch with my motivation to practice. Yes, I have continued to practice but almost without any real sense of intentionality and solely as a means to ensure that I wouldn’t completely slip away. Strange. Yet, it happens over and again without ceasing. And if it is this easy to lose the thread in this very life how much more infinitely difficult must it be to take hold once more of the determination to awaken in our next birth?
