I was harboring huge, uncontrollable feelings of resentment last night. Everything was bothering me; it felt like my immediate family was forcing me to attend events against my will, that my school was making unfair demands, and even the friend who called to remind me he misses me at yoga class seemed to be pushing and prodding in an annoying manner.
I was tired. It helps when you feel resentment to remember you could just be tired. The remnants of the resentment were still with me this morning so I sat down to meditate, just for a few minutes. And then it happened. All the resentment lifted instantaneously, at once! It really was like the window of my mind's eye was muddy, and the meditation wiped it clean in less than any "time" at all.
Then, I remembered that my husband, Layton, actually grew bananas, lots of them, in our backyard, and that thought made everything okay. (Here is a picture of Layton and his banana trees.)
