Spiritual practice should not be confused with grim duty. It is the laughter of the Dalai Lama and the wonder born with every child. — Jack Kornfield
I love this quote. I know I am getting off track when my daily practice gets too serious and seems like a duty or even a burden. It can be easy to forget that spending time playing with the girls (our cats Lizzie and Beth) or in my studio playing with my art are an important part of life and spiritual practices.
How do you lighten up when your practice starts seeming a little grim?
