Forms, I talk about forms a lot. I really enjoy doing forms. Until yesterday. I was practicing some forms yesterday, slowing them down to work on various techniques. And then the wheels fell off of my bus. For some reason I could not get through a single form without felling extremely frustrated. Stances, junk, Intent, non existent, Flow, zip zero nada. The madder I got, the worse I got. The worse I got, the madder I got, arrrggg!! So I stopped.
I now realize that I was trying to fix everything all at once. My brain and my body were both on different pages. My harmonies were tone deaf. All of my struggles with various aspects of every form had come home to roost. Crash and burn.
But, like the fiery Phoenix, I will be reborn, or so I am really hoping. Today I will start slowly. Just do the forms from start to finish. Feel the form. Enjoy the form. And fix 1 thing and 1 thing only at a time. And with that, my love of forms should come back stronger than ever.
