“Love isn’t how you feel, it’s what you do.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Madeleine L’Engle<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Though I’m not blessed with children of my own, I worked with them for years. Some moments they’re pure joy. Other times… not so much. Guitar practice is similar in this respect.<\/p>\n

When a relationship is fun and exciting, it’s easy. Those moments are golden. Effortless.<\/p>\n

But eventually we feel friction. It may even feel futile. We don’t feel like showing up. It just seems hard or irritating. This may last for a few seconds, or it could last longer.<\/p>\n

It’s these moments that require love. Love for ourselves and our larger commitments and desires. Love for music.<\/p>\n

Our daily guitar practice is like a child. It’s a relationship. It’s something we nurture with our attention and time. That’s why it’s meaningful.<\/p>\n

Love is a verb, not a noun. Love is what we do, even if we don’t feel like it, or it’s not convenient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
