Rhythm Cafe MKE | Maxwell James | VOL 40 A Reluctant Practice in the art of Zen
“A Reluctant Practice in the Art of Zen” is a song about the tension between ambition and patience. When you’re young, you want to hit the ground running—chasing dreams, making things happen. But life often teaches you to slow down, take your time, and truly develop your craft. This song reflects on my twenties, a time when I had to learn patience the hard way. It’s about embracing the process, even when it feels frustrating, and understanding that growth comes in its own time.
