As the days pass and I have been able to spend less time in formal practice and reflection I find myself questioning my purpose from time to time. Yes, it seems a stange thing to write but in the course of a day I have found myself grasping time and again after my purpose and questioning why I am so committed to being kind in the first place.
It’s precisely at these times of deep delusion that a faith in the Triple Gem, in the words of our teachers and in the power of love and compassion are what is called for because pure reason leaves me stranded and starving like an ass between two haystacks. May I make the aseveration to cling always to metta and karuna even when I lack the wisdom to understand why.
