Spiritual practice means dwelling in life from the depth
Prayer, meditation are forms of practice,
The practice does not change,
The posture is formless form.
In this, it is universal.

I think I might have been inclined to omit the definite article from line 2…
Though we might end up in a discussion over what constitutes prayer and meditation.
Many years ago, a young Christian suggested that prayer could cease to be an act and become a manner of life.
Perhaps, though I wonder if it then becomes indistinguishable from habitual meditation.
After all, neither are confined to a cushion, a certain room or a time of day.
And I wonder if practice is only unchanging once it becomes the manner of the life, even the life itself – an expression of continual being, rather than temporal action.
Perhaps my imagination is running away with me.

Thank you Simon for the watchful read.
What yu said reminded me of the Russian Pilgrim in the Orthodox Tradition and continuous praying.
