I feel an odd excitement about tomorrow; the kind of calm, confident, excitement that I always get before doing a form. Waves of tension rippling through my body as every muscle sounds off they're all ready to roar, and that dull sort of head ache as my brain forgets all distraction to tighten its grip on the body's leash, holding it at bay until the signal given. SNAP! Everything surges and the world disappears into the kind of peace only trouncing invisible ninjas can bring.
The reason I'm excited about tomorrow is that I'll be attempting a simple, but impossible task. Failure, therefore won't be a problem, but success would be....amazing. I'll post on here if I succeed.
In other news, Happy 50th to sifu Beckett! Here's a poem about kung fu for you
Already alert, awaiting his turn
To take the world, and make it upturn.
Fists, feet, fire at the ready, hate to spurn
Fire fights fire, loose the dragon, let it burn.
Contents can't cool, in the Cauldron they churn,
Staying state of stirring, release they yearn.
Assume an awesome athletic pattern,
Drills, done daily, Kung Fu's Logos to learn.
Present precise pathos, triumph to earn,
Deadly, demonic demeanor so stern.
Senses, slyly searching, targets discern
Fast, flashy fists like a courtroom adjourn,
Retrospective relaxations return
Loving, laughing, living now my concern
