Well, this certainly couldn’t come at a better time – though it is advisable to not chose the MOST difficult person you can imagine since you still need to be able to connect with Metta. I chose a difficult co-worker, I felt something not election related would be less distracting.
I came in and out of focus a few times, then popped in and out of Metta Jhana1, and hung out in MJ2 for a while as well. I really managed to connect with the practice this morning better than last night. I’m assuming it was a case of getting good rest, and having the dust settle from the past few days a little bit.
I really needed that metta this morning. I’ve been a bit distracted lately by concentration practice and the wild experiences I sometimes have – but the metta this morning just felt like such a comfort.
Grateful.
much metta,
