Sometimes when I watch birds in my
feeder, walk along the river, or even walk through a downtown full of
strangers, I feel a pleasant source of unity with creation. How
suffering fits into this is a puzzle. Thinking about annoying people, on a daily
level, is even more of a puzzle. I think the generous question to
myself is this: What needs to happen for me to feel that peaceful
connection to all when I'm aware of myself making negative judgments?
I don't want to scold myself. I just
want to be mindful of negative thoughts—I want to live with the
question so to speak.
