On Practice

On practice, and the name of this blog:

"The Western idea of practice is to acquire a skill. It is very much related to our work ethic, which enjoins us to endure struggle or boredom now in return for future rewards. The Eastern idea of practice, on the other hand, is to create the person, or rather to actualize or reveal the complete person who is already there. This is not practice for something, but complete practice, which suffices unto itself. In Zen training they speak of sweeping the floor, or eating, as practice. Walking as practice."
-Stephen Nachmanovich, Free Play: The Power of Improvisation in Life and the Arts, p. 67

We talk about doing yoga as a practice, but what about talking about yoga? What about the way we interact with each other, online or otherwise? If eating can be a practice, surely blogging can be, too.
So go, get on a mat, or open up a text box, or even a comment- just do something.
