Beyond Perfect: Our Poem about Practice

The God of Every Day: A Week of Practice is available to you any week, any day any time. But last week a group of the radiant beings who are doing the practice now gathered for a sweet live session where we wrote, reflected and supported each other on our journeys to love ourselves through practice. We found that much of what we are unlearning is perfectionism, and a productivity paradigm. Our practices are not about becoming perfect people, and they are not about producing outputs that capitalism celebrates. Our practices create space for us to be in relationship with infinite love. Which is another way of saying being in relationship with ourselves because WE ARE INFINITE LOVE!!!!!

This is the group poem we created at the end of our session. Feel free to share it and to read it (i recommend reading it out loud).
