The plain blue door 6
The naked lifelong student with the GRASSHOPPER mask stands tall, examining the friezes on the entrance walls, waiting for understanding and inspiration, breathing slowly, deeply, opening the body to experience the new. After the breathing comes the drills. The first is quiet, gentle and precise. The drills that follow become harder and faster, taps become slaps and slaps become punches. The meditation becomes a performance but no one arrives to appreciate the performance. And so the performance ends, the exhausted body prone.
