Whatever we do is a mistake

From a Joan Sutherland interview in the recent issue of Buddhadharma magazine:

"From the koan perspective, that means understanding that whatever we do will in some way be a mistake. There's no right way, so we choose the mistake we feel the greatest affinity with, the one we think is most beautiful or seems like it might help the most. Then we watch and see what happens and we correct and change, based on what we notice. I find it very helpful to hold that idea of everything I do being a mistake. It's provisional and subject to change."
