Between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out. ~ Italian Proverb
A Tibetan teacher describes practice as the wearing out of a pair of shoes. We need to wear the soles thin. By that time we have worn through ego and delusion. The more time spent in writing practice, the more insights gained.
If we stop too soon because we feel eager to complete a project, we lose the opportunities to delve into connections. Insights arrive with the next flow of sentences.
Revelations result from pushing words into one another and permitting them to fall into a variety of formations. Like a comfortable pair of shoes with mileage, words will begin to energize us to keep moving.

Which shoes will you wear today?
