That doesn’t sound like failure at all! It sounds like you gained a lot in the time we had! I think that becoming more aware of ourselves, our place in the world, what we are doing… it’s all good! AND you deepened practice as well! Sounds like Ango was very productive for you! I’m so glad that you joined us for it and found some benefit to it! (Also, no one said we had to be perfect! I feel we strive without striving to become better at our practice and our way in our own ways and in our own time… no right or wrong. We just go as we go, flow as we flow… we do the best we can!)
For me growth is continuous, and there is no “goal” or end to it, just like Zazen!
