Ambition

April 10, 2007

Hello sitters.
Sorry for my extended silence. Graduate school, full time work and life have crowded out any energy or inspiration for blogging. Fortunately, life has again returned to a nice stroll.

My sits keep sitting although my brain has been bubbling with ambition and dreams. I responded by tightening my practice by closing my eyes (the Shambhala tradition meditates with eyes open) and strictly following my breath. I am amazed at the mental storms that can happen in meditation. So much noise and agitation arise every so often. I suppose this is karma rising up for me to release.
