Practice

“The truth is my mother never just found the perfect pear from the store. She just bought pears. It’s what she did when she got them home that mattered. She would put them in a paper bag and wait. She was patient.”

Practice: Action rather than thought or ideas. The actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it. To carry out, apply. To perform or work at repeatedly so as to become proficient.

There is no such thing as perfection in my human capabilities. In nature, the universe, and at times where art and spirit collide, yes there is perfection. I am but a mere mortal though.

If I can practice every day, I’m doing alright. So what do I want to practice today? What can I practice? What do I need to practice? I’ve found with overwhelming and daunting “tasks” simplicity is my best friend. And perspective. That is why I so often I need someone else to give me a nudge, a suggestion, a helping start. And by the way, overwhelming tasks are subjective. What may be easy for one person, can be difficult for another.
