~practice makes perfect until you realize it doesn't exist~

i practiced piano for the first time at age five

for the next decade it was all i did

practice

practice

practice


first piano and then

violin

clarinet

voice

ukulele

that is practice


until i took my first step into a mirror-less studio

took my first step across the freedom that manifested itself as a wooden floor

that was practice

it is not anymore


practice is

rising up joyfully

falling with no regret

finding completion in its incompleteness

finding solace in knowing there is not a final destination

finding peace in your body, for you will not find it in your mind, you will not find it in the world
