At our Southcoast Zen sitting group last night I shared that having the intention to show up for sitting on Monday nights has me make choices and take actions in spite of feelings or circumstances that make for easy excuses to not show up.
It was true for everyone there - flat bike tires, resucing persons with flat bike tires, work schedules, leaving projects in mid-course, finding the Zendog for the first time.
How curious that the intention to show up and sit silently on a cushion would be so powerful in our lives.
As another Zendogite put it - Why don't we bring the same intention to the seemingly more important commitments in our lives?
