As children, we naturally gave full attention to everything, though it all may have changed every moment. Then the authorities told us about our responsibility not just to do things but to do them right. Since then, our attention has been divided between what we are doing and whether we are doing it right. ….. we are not able to give our attention fully; there are too many whispers of conscience distracting us. We must take the bull by the horns and deliberately practice, feeling how we do what we do, gradually learning to give up the cherished notions of the right way and the wrong way, which simply lead us away from the task itself, and coming more and more to feel the real situation and what it asks of us.
