Process

Process is the current of my humanist practice. My practice isn't about accomplishments or goals. My practice is about the way, the process, of achieving personal integrity and peace in relation to myself and my environment. "Enjoy the journey." is a pop-culture summation of this concept. But that version is too passive for me as a humanist. 

Making the journey a worthwhile exercise of my full humanity is the process of my humanism. This is an active dynamic within me and with my environment. The quality of personal process builds with the exercise of mindfulness and compassion in every aspect of daily life. There is no goal of perfection or purity in my practice. The goal is simply to practice. The goal is the process of being the most humane and open person you can be from moment to moment. Sainthood is irrelevant to real-life saints.
