Our Daily Practice, Our Art


Our Daily Practice, Our Art

…………………………………………
                 Our Daily Practice, Our Art 

Our own physical, mental, and spiritual health,
Although current states of our being,
Are best manipulated by us in a daily practice.

All practice is in essence art. Who we are, body, mind, and spirit,
Is in that sense our own artwork. We all begin as novices,
And we all bring unique experience, perspective and talent to bear.

Should I not find my art pleasing, and recognize I am at choice,
I am able to change it within my particular God-given parameters.
It is good to improve, and even better to learn to appreciate my own art.

My practice is not as palatable when perceived as an achievement or goal.
There is no end. It is my lifestyle. All true change comes through practice.
Whether I believe it good or bad, I have in many ways created myself.

With a developed practice advancement is delicate and change slow.
Although it may appear at times imperceptible,
Change will occur and become habit, and with our practice we are transformed.
