It looked like an easy morning but whoever is in charge of things thought it would be a good test to put everything on fast forward and then tip buckets of water out of the sky all over my uncovered head! The telephone rings, a delivery van arrives, the dryer breaks, the puppy chews the edge of the carpet and my life partner (husband) gets in a flap. And we are meditators who aren't even trying to get to work through traffic and rain, we aren't trying to catch a train, conduct an orchestra, operate on a patient or drive an ambulance. We aren't experiencing any physical difficulties and we find a morning like this a bit testing! What it must be like for people who are struggling and don't have any idea that difficulties might just be tests makes the mind boggle. Although of course a meditator's mind shouldn't boggle, it should just sail onwards peacefully and get the dryer mended, take in the delivery, answer the telephone and sort out both the life partner and the puppy! And meditate.
