Practice Does Not Make Perfect
The full moon is here and so is plentiful spring rain. Family comes together to break the bread of affliction and to rejoice in each other’s love and survival. What do we need to ‘survive’, to endure and live on?
Perseverance.
Tenacity, determination, purposefulness.
I am going to practice now. Practice does not make perfect but there is endurance, dedication, commitment. It is hard and it nourishes me like the rain nourishes the earth.
