Pay attention to the interruptions, the wrong turns,
the plans gone awry.
Bow to the rude waiter, the overdue bill,
All of the ways this world disappoints you.
This is the marrow of the practice,
the heartwood: knowing how to love an imperfect life.
Still your mind, slow your breath.
And witness the messy miracle of this moment
revealing itself to you
now
and now
and now.
