WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A PRACTICE?
What does it mean to have a practice? It means we have the ability to remake ourselves. We don’t have to be defined by others, or by accident, or even by wealth and opportunity. We have a method, and we use it. We do what few other people are willing to do—to make many small acts each day that build into massive change. That’s how we safeguard our health and our sanity.
What does it mean to have a practice? It means that we understand that there are no quick changes. That the only way to have a chance of moving with the seasons, with circumstance, and with aging, is to make many gradual alterations. That takes patience and it takes perseverance. That steady effort is all we really need.

What does it mean to have a practice? It means we are fully centered in ourselves. We are seldom overwhelmed or shocked—because we have constantly oriented ourselves each day.
