The Thing in the Way

I read this today and found that it says something we should all be mindful of as we struggle with our practice and how our practice becomes action. It is this: we tend to make the thing in the way the way. I know that there are times when I do. I wonder what each day would be like if all of us just kept this simple phrase with us, tucked inside our minds, as a companion who does nothing more than ask us throughout the day, "what's in the way; are you making that the way right now"?  Don't look for the answer; the question is all.
