Practicing the art of refinement.

Hi naturesflow,

There's a Chinese idiom: 熟能生巧skill comes from practice or practice makes perfect.

Another idiom: after learning three hundred Tang poems by heart, one can try one's hand at poetry, even if one is not a poet 熟读唐诗三百首，不会吟诗也会吟。

I think these give some ideas of refinement.

Practice makes perfect-yes I have heard this spoken of in other ways Jeremy.

Empathy is the refinement and art and naturally can be practiced to apply to any part of one's life.
