A habit is a machine that operates without spirit. If spirit happens to rise then the habit is broken, at least temporarily, and we have an event. This is practice. Now, the fact is that spirit is always present, lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce when the time is right. Our skill then is in allowing such time, in reining in our doing, our will, and allowing what's there to present itself. A relaxation – a wisdom – born of faith and selfless belief.
