Becoming.

The best teachers have showed me that things have to be done bit by bit. Nothing that means anything happens quickly -- we only think it does. The motion of drawing back a bow and sending an arrow straight into a target takes only a split second, but it is a skill many years in the making. 


So it is with a life, anyone's life. 


I may list things that might be described as my accomplishments in these few pages, but they are only shadows of the larger truth, fragments separated from the whole cycle of becoming.
