The practice of happiness
“If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold it, and you will lose it.”
― Lao Tzu
For this practice, I wanted to find stability while moving, using rhythm and the location of my yoga mat as reference for my placement, and most importantly, to use the same movement sequence, practising it again and again and again, the same, the same, the same till it feels different.
Contemplating the transitions, that for every hight there is always a downside, as in order for something to be, it’s in a relationship, comparison, a contrast of something else, for that reason in this “dance” of constant change, ups and downs, the best referent is to practice something grounded, to push it away, to rebound, and reach, accepting what it rises and falls, like the floating sensation of happiness, that comes and goes, but always doable, through practice; or at least with the intention of doing so.
Change and be the same
To be different
Although repeat again
To move but stay
Closely and away
Flow by pause
Rest in go
Adapt by act
Remember, forget
Remain still, follow and say
To use the fear as fuel
And feed the feel
With fluent quietude
To let it be is to let it go
Dispersed whiled absorbed
Stable laugh, steady cry
Invisible feasible
Intention superfluous
Flouting absurd
Falling, floating
Fluid
