When we begin some discipline, eventually, we might stop the practice. Our schedule gets too busy, or we feel too lazy, and we forget how important our meditation, exercise or reading was to us.
The act of returning to practice is so important that some even say, that is the practice. Perhaps the practice is not when things are going well for us, when we follow our schedule carefully. Perhaps the practice is when things become difficult and we lose our way.
With a little presence, we make our decision, and again we begin to sit and contemplate, to go to the gym, or crack open our books. We return to practice.
