Keep Opening the Door

When you sit down to meditate, you never know what’s going to come up. Some days  you’re hammered by relentless trivia; other days you’re caught in storms of anger or grief or  fear. What’s important is just to keep coming back to the cushion, to keep opening the door  to the possibility of peace and insight.

- Anne Cushman, "Fifteen Weeks of Dharma Dating"
