I'm here. Yesterday's "touch of depression" has deepened. I'm struggling to take Pema Chodron's advice to "drop the story line" and stay with the energy. The story line keeps grabbing me though.

I may switch back to Thich Nhat Hanh's advice to touch the seed of despair with the seed of mindfulness in order to transform the unwholesome seed. It makes more sense to me. And some tonglen would be useful today. Unfortunately I can't seem to even rouse myself to do my daily meditation this morning.
