Sunday Morning

Sitting and looking out my office window at my ice-covered neighborhood -- and wanting. Wanting to go to a meeting; wanting to exchange the new router; wanting to go to Starbucks; wanting to be with my family. Wanting, wanting, wanting. Desire, desire, desire. Didn't we just talk about this in sangha last month? I taught on this subject on September 10. But, desire is always present in samsara -- otherwise it wouldn't be samsara. So, maybe we will talk about "desire and the nature of desire" again this week. Once again examine the way wanting/desire/ craving are ever-present in this life and the ways in which we can be with craving without judgment or self-hate. Knowing it for what it is and opening our hearts to ourselves in compassion and loving-kindness.
