As You Can

 Pray as you can, not as you want.  You read a book by a monk about monks praying and you are attracted to that way of prayer.  But you are not a monk.  They have no spouse, mortgage, child, commute.  You are a jogger who reads about the training of a champion runner, maybe an Olympian.  You want to train like that, but you have not that time, or maybe talent.  So do what you can.  Pray as you can.  You may have a realistic plan, but that is interrupted by family illness or sudden events outside your control, to which you must attend.  I have come to know the difference between being lazy as opposed to being delusional.
