Cattāri Brahmavihārā

Like it or not it seems that I am truly a creature of habit. The last week or so my routine was completely thrown off by the change in location and the perceived exigencies of my situation. As a result my practice suffered and my posts here were sporadic. Having gotten in last night around 9:30 and spent the night at my in-laws in Long Island things are still not quite “right” but I can feel a real, of inexplicable, change.
Having noticed just how off things were the last ten days and being aware of the sudden shift upon my return to NY has given me lots to consider. What is habit and what is routine? Ot, better yet, is it useful? Send to me that at this point in my life it is and I am grateful to have a place called home.
