So I managed 7 days of daily meditation. But on Day 8 - a day with no demands, when several hours of free time stretched before me - I let the day slip by without a meditation session. Huh? What happened? Ram Dass said in his book, "Journey of Awakening": "Your resistances to meditation are your mental prisons in miniature." I am left thinking that for all my feeling of freedom I was, in fact, imprisoned. I am not sure why I forged these bars but I must accept that I did this - no one else.
I refuse to see this as a failure. Instead I see this as a light shining in a dark place.
