Post by Linh Nguyen

The twins had a fight this morning over which of them 'owns' the blue cup. We have two blue cups.

In the car I did what I've started doing on hard mornings: the loving-kindness phrases. May you be safe. May you be at peace. First for me (hardest). Then for each twin (easier, they were finally quiet). Then for the dad in the silver SUV who honked at me in the drop-off loop (hardest again, round three).

By the end I was laughing a little. He was probably late too. His kids probably also own the same cup. Nam mô A Di Đà Phật, and may we all make it through this week.

    Round three is always the hard one. On the highway I'm on round three about every forty minutes.

    Two blue cups and they still fought over one. I'm crying laughing. Sending patience your way, mamá.

    Stealing the three rounds. The person who honks is always the real teacher, unfortunately.
