Saved from a life without desire

If you can do it once, you might be able to do it ten times. And if you do it ten times, it will become a skill and a practice. You’ll do it more naturally and more often. … Ten reps is a great place to begin.
Seth Godin

Chance favours the prepared mind.*
Louis Pasteur

What is a dream, a hope a desire
without a practice to contain it?

Whilst some people are all container and no content,
Others are all dissipating contents and no container.
The sweet spot is to shape a routine that is also a ritual,
One that is alive and playful:

The dream of prayer and art is to be nearer, even to slip through to dwell for a while in the vicinity of the essence.^

*From Seth Godin’s blog: 10 reps;
