What's enough?

Ed and I had dinner at a cozy little place in the Castro. Friendly service and unadorned food. Meet, chat, eat ... simple. I'd said, earlier in the week, "Let's eat somewhere else for a change ... and maybe see a movie too." As if Friday Night needed to have an extra helping of ice cream on top to make it feel more fulfilling. I was "wanting" and it's reminding me of the teaching that "never enough" causes suffering (Dukkha). Even walking up the street I noticed in my pace the desire to get there faster, but what would that bring that walking slowly up Castro Street with a great friend doesn't already have? Being in this moment with my clean sheets, sleepy eyes, and ending a busy week by breaking bread with a sweet friend ... I'm stinking rich. How much is 'enough' in your life today?
