A lesson..

Of archery is something quite a wonderful and unique experience. Standing im front of a target,20,30,40,50 and so on meters (guess the olympionics have 18 with a really small target) thinking about the way how to shoot..not the fact that you shoot,but the way you do it. Once I read a book about a connection between japanese art of a bow and a sort of meditation. Trully there is only way goal..to shoot the arrow,BUT the way you shoot it starts at the very basic ground of the act itself. The body stand. The arms. Fingers. Neck. Elbows and even the face and the mind..well well of course there are many sports we can talk about the same and also the fans will tell me that this is not unique at all just for me it was..at the very important moment..how you let the arrow go..in that very particular moment your body gave the arrow all from the way of preparation. The mind switches of instantly. Someone would say wonderful (it seems to be a way of art,in the meaning american football is a way of being fast and strong) thanks to this I am travelling home with a peace in my mind (an idea worth spreading try to watch a movie called peaceful warrior..not the best movie ever and you can see similar plots in other movies as well,but in the time I wad watching it,it really caught my mind..for seconds)
