Violin

 Watch someone just learning to play the violin.  Then watch someone who is a master of it.  The newbie is struggling mightily and you can see it and feel for the person.  The master seems not to struggle at all.  The difference is practice.  Both persons want to be violinists.  The desire is there but the practice time is vastly different.  So why should it not be so with a spiritual path.  We get attracted to a path because we see an adept at practice.  No one is attracted to someone painfully struggling.  But prayer life takes practice if we want our lives to seem “effortless.”  The effort will always be there but it will eventually flow and attract others.  No one is attracted to a Recovery Program if everyone in the room acts insanely.  They might have all been insane at one time, but Practice of a spiritual way made a difference.
