"They are paying you to practice"
A description of play:
Practice in your free time while you are not at work.
A description of a sesshin:
"Its easy to practice at sesshin. The distractions have been reduced. Going back to your job, your family, the non-sesshin practice. That is difficult. That is where the rubber meets the road. But in a way, what could be more natural, more simple?"
Life:
You are reading this. Right now. Are you still reading this? What is coming next? Will there be more writing? Will the sound of the typing in the cubicle across the hall continue? The chatter of voices? Or are you listening to your own internal dialog? It is all that it is right now, ever changing.
A comment on what the Philosopher wrote yesteday:
Suffering is clinging to the internal dialog. Practice is making wise choices with your internal dialog. To study the self is to forget the self. When you forget the self, there is more than the internal dialog.

Take me to the river. Let me float in the water. Supported. Back arching. Sun through the trees:-)
