December 29, 2015 by PoiPriestess
Imagine you’re in a kitchen and you drop a single egg from the dozen in your hand. Would you then throw down the other eleven simply because you lost one? Or would you clean up the spill from the lost egg and carry on with your day? Our practice is like the carton — some days we […]
