This last weekend was very tough for me and, in many ways, my practice completely fell apart. Between driving for long hours in bad conditions and not being able to fulfill my obligations at work for to technical difficulties encountered during our two day trip to New Hampshire I completely lost my cool and any semblance of equanimity. As yet I am still not clear hour to resolve the issue of bringing the practice to bear on these real life situations that see seem to be so unmanageable and intractable despite the hope and inkling that patience and persistence will win the day. May I practice with patient persistence and make acc end to such suffering.
