imprisoned...........

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.
