Idle Friday
The beat being subdued but not silent, give it a rest, see where your time went.
Stance work, foot work, internal mechanics.
Which ending the best?
Sameness and frankness under cover of night.
What does healthy conflict look like?
I wanna swim in the river, I wanna run in the field,
I wanna lay down in cool waters. I wanna sleep for a week.
Peace, patience, pause. Listen up close...
Don't stop, can't stop, never wanna give it up. The beat, the beat, the beat. Don't stop.
Sameness, frankness, candor and clarity. Potions' portions close at hand.
If peace in the method, then love in the technique. Presence in the gesture and attention in the shape.
Where once drawbridge catechism, apocryphal crystalline space.
So maybe that's the advice, the thesis, the point:
Make or create or gift-wrap some space. To me and to you and to all them out there. Breathe, the time area and distance between the in and the next. The out and the first.
Refracting light portraits from the Dark Side of the Moon.
Make space. Space for your face. Your fate, state and flow. Don't give up the time that you exceedingly don't know.
Though you might-can't see it you gotta know-trust that it's there. A breath's breadth a hair's width-- a lot can fit in there.
I had no idea that SF6 was coming out today.
Reminders for next time: fighting, training, viewpoints, prog rock, marijuana, character endings.
