"It is the daily practice that will bring about the necessary shifts in perception that make change possible. Vision helps us to remember why we do the work. Practice is the how; it makes the change and grounds the work. A reversal of the inherited relationship between theory and practice, between how we think and what we do, the heart of engaged action. It is this that engages us at the deepest, most spiritual level of meaning in our lives. It is how we constitute our humanity."
