We learn by
practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn
to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some
area an athlete of God. [Martha
Graham]
Life is Practise. It is always in progress. Under construction. In
renovation. Expectant. Hopeful. Possible.
Life is learning. It is a new skill combined in an old way or an old
habit repurposed imaginatively. Unexpectedly.
Take chances, make
mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in
order to practice being brave. [Mary
Tyler Moore]
I have been practising at making mistakes. Encouraging failure. Trying
NOT to manage or bother myself with the HOWs.
I try things out. Or on. Sleep on them. Wait a few days, weeks, more BEfore
acting. Just to BE able to DO this is freedom. JOY. Hopeful BEyond my wildest
dreams.
Practise may well BE the way to Carnegie Hall, yet it is also how I have
learned to live Life. To BE Present in My Life. Nothing is forever. Things come
and they pass. Other things come, too, to pass. It is a dance. Danced over on
stages far past where I can see.
Live. BE great. Don’t wait. Don’t worry. So what if you trip over your
feet?!
I love you, Currie
