notching the arrow
Too much hubris there is in a target—as if you knew where the arrow would land! All we can control—what a word!—is what we do till we release the string. See? Eugen Herrigel taught us—at book length—how much and how little is wrapped up in that lifetime of moments of notching the arrow and stretching back. Play together—with some one or two others—play in direction only—let loose your landing place—let direction find its arriving—each moment a garden of possibilities—each blooming just when our gaze calls to it.
