The mind resists repetition because repetition reveals patterns.

When I practice the same sequence, I can't hide behind variety. I see where I'm tight, where I compensate.

What does your body reveal when you stop chasing variety?

A quotation from Anais Nin

Now I laugh at my fear of analysis. Most people’s possession of knowledge deprives them of the sense of wonder, but such a sense of wonder and mystery is like the savage’s fear of mysterious fire until he discovers the principle of it and the mastering of it. I say that after we know all there is to know, there is still mystery and wonder of a deeper kind.

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) Catalan-Cuban-French author, diarist
Diary (1932-11-27)

Quote of the day, 19 July: Brother Lawrence

Who can say that it is wrong, when we begin to recite the Hours or the rosary, to consider whom we are going to speak with, and who we are, so as to know how to speak with Him?

Saint Teresa of Avila
The Way of Perfection, 22:3

Adoring God in truth means recognizing him for what he is and recognizing ourselves for what we are.

Adoring God in truth means recognizing truly, really, and in spirit that God is what he is, infinitely perfect, infinitely adorable, infinitely removed from all evil, and so on for all the divine attributes. Who are we, and what reason could excuse us from using all our strength to offer this great God all respect and adoration?

Adoring God in truth means admitting that, although we are completely opposite, he wants to make us like himself, if we so desire. We must not be so imprudent as to withhold, even for a moment, the respect, love, service, and continual adoration we owe him.

    Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, O.C.D.

    Spiritual Maxims, chap. 3, nos. 13–14

    Lawrence of the Resurrection, B; De Meester, C 1994, Writings and Conversations on the Practice of the Presence of God,  translated from the French by Salvatore Sciurba, OCD, ICS Publications, Washington DC.
