Zazen this morning turned out to be a full 46 minutes, by far the longest time I've ever sat. It was serene and left me with things I wanted to write about, but now the day has started, I lost my temper for just a minute with my daughter, and so I can't remember what I wanted to write.
Part of the practice is to keep that serenity and mindfulness in daily life. Another part is not to judge it failure or success but simply accept it with compassion for myself and stick with it.
And so, the day continues, and I'll move into it and try to cause no suffering for myself or others and to be a useful part of the whole.
