One of my favorite Dharma teachers, Wes Nisker, once read a quote that went something like this: "The next time you're doing something really mundane - like brushing your teeth or doing the dishes or going to the bathroom - say to yourself, 'So, it's come to this'."
This moment is the culmination of all the moments of your life. Enjoy it!
Blessings,
Roger

You've no idea how much I was in that kind of space last Sunday when I was exploding from both ends from some kind of passing intestinal thing - I just kept trying to focus on my breath to get me through the unpleasantness! It actually helped.
