Practice

 

September 2, 2018

It’s all practice. Everything that happens to us is practice for some future thing that will happen.

Practice.

I’m in a practice round right now. Nothing dire. Nothing life-threatening, but enough to be a lesson to practice. Like I practiced the piano. Like I learned one easy piece at a time, scales, exercises preparing me for harder pieces. If I hadn’t quit when I was in my teens, I’d be able to play those beautiful intricate pieces now.

But I quit.

There’s no quitting this.

My 69th Birthday arrived while I was feeling good enough to think I was still young.
