I had the thought as I was struggling to link two back handsprings together (from standing) at gymnastics last night, that it is so much harder to be in the body than the mind.

Might this be age or is it a simple fact?

When you determine to be more in your body, the next day the body protests this determination. But there is the promise of a contraction within all this. And after a contraction comes an exhale, a beautiful pause.

Today’s weather also contains that exhale quality.
