Thank you, E, for highlighting that—it’s such a lovely way to phrase it: “the seed and flower of practice.” It beautifully captures how conviction grows and blossoms through mindful effort over time.

so many layers here as usual and unveiled with an intent as you say free of haste while risking vulnerability, knowing that that risk frees us....i wonder what the Portuguese for "in-betwixt" is?

🤔

I truly appreciate your thoughtful comment, A! As for the Portuguese equivalent of “in-betwixt,” perhaps “entremeio” or “entre dois mundos” could work, though they don’t fully capture the same poetic nuance. It’s such a fascinating word to ponder!
