I don’t know what it is (was), but last night as I sat up in bed reading the AA big book, the thought of getting up and sitting zazen came to me and the strong resistance that usually follows that thought wasn’t as strong as it has been. So, I got up and sat zazen for a while. It wasn’t a marathon 45 minutes sitting by any stretch of the imagination, but I sat with myself and my breath nonetheless.

After posting yesterday about my frustrations around this, I feel more at peace with myself today. May I cultivate this positive energy for the good of all beings (including myself) today.

Gassho.
