spiritual practice
start with a goal
make a promise
to show up then
miss the next day
start with failure
then deal with grace
you will not write
everyday this lent
easter will come
good friday too
the season does
not ride on you
faithfulness
and perfection
are not the same
saints miss the mark
start with a word
then another
tell the story
about how practice
does not make perfect
you will fail again
and love will keep
expecting you
how many times
do I need to
tell you these things
start with again
Peace,
Milton
Milton, I always appreciate your thoughts. Today I feel we are also communing with ee cummings
Bless you, my friend
Thanks, Julie. Praying for all of you in Texas.
Milton, our friend Sid Davis says “practice doesn’t make Perfect; Practice makes Permanent.”
“the season does not ride on you”—
Thank you for reminding me that Lenten days will come and go; the paschal mystery will unfold; and all will be well, all manner of things shall be well—even when my good intentions fall short.
