Day 251 Practice

Have you ever seen Martha Graham dance "Lamentation"? It was cutting edge when she performed it in the '30s. It's worth a look, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb4-kpClZns. I think Albert Einstein would agree with what she says below, but I think he would (likely I would) change the word "perfection" to "success."

"I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection (success) desired.
