Taking the Self Whole | Tricycle: "The paradox of practice is that we do indeed practice to realize perfection --- but to realize it as already present, regardless of our efforts, irrespective of the content of this moment. This is perfection as "suchness" -or life as it is - which is never what we had in mind when we started out. Furthermore, the challenge is not simply to have (as a result of our efforts, of course) a moment in which we realize "this is IT" but to recognize all those OTHER moments when we say to ourselves, "This isn't it" as also IT...." -- Barry Magid
