Doubt- A Cloud in the Sky

I had to do it. I had to pick a date for the beginning of the end. March 4th.

Ever heard of the 5 hindrances (to meditation)? They are like clouds in the sky of a mind. Doubt, Craving, Ill-will/Aversion, Dullness, Restlessness/Worry. When the clouds go, it’s the beginning of sunshine.

I liken them to nebulous clouds- staining the sky almost imperceptibly. As meditative skills progress, these clouds become glaringly obvious- until they appear as unmistakeable misbehaving elephants in the room.

The other elephants. Not for the faint of heart.
