From
Turning Silk: A Diary of Chen Taiji Practice, by
Kinthissa:
Practise mindfully, with ease in the heart. Practise because it is doing one good, not because it will make one a master. To become a master, or mistress, of TaijiQuan is a very long aim. Practising without expecting the day to arrive soon will be the most sensible way. Remember the road to wisdom: "Err and err and err again -- but less and less and less."
The quote within the quote is from a
grook of Piet Hein:
The road to wisdom? Well, it's plain
And simple to express:
Err
and err
and err again,
but less
and less
and less.
When I first read this I understood:
ReplyDeleteEr?
Er?
and Er? again....
Maybe that's a similar sentiment.
