Why do I practice?

Why do I practice?

To be fully free and fully feeling.
To live in the fullness of the present.
To realize the depth of my potential.
To remember what I am so fully that I never forget again.
To drop the act.
To stop fighting myself.
To live as whole goodness.
To allow my heart to break open fully and never close again.
To love as deeply as I am capable.
To live in fearless integrity.
To fall into truth, again and again.
To die gracefully. To comfort knowingly. To hold carefully. To live wondrously.
To speak from the depths my core, resonating with the entirety of my being. To know that it was peace, not truth, that I was seeking.
To manifest glory for my contribution. To keep dancing.
To learn how to cry again.
To fuck magnificently.
To be able to be forgotten.
To show myself.
To be an excellent friend, son, lover, father.
To honor my teachers by carrying forth their teachings.
To be tough as a brigand, gentle as a grandmother.
To be moved by the joy of a child in a playground.
To love, to love, to love.
To let go of letting go.
To help others. To really help others.
To know that I am and we are.

That is why I practice.
