Body on rope.

  A funny moment yesterday when both my sister and I were up trying to twist into a wrap of sorts.    The ropes rotated and when we saw each other across the mat we both laughed and said ..  that looks so neat... do I  look like that?  Truly though, I still have very little idea what my body is doing between the rope and the upside down so photos end up being a fun check point.
   It's been bit like this exercise: arms straight out, backs of hands together, cross wrists so that now palms touch, interlace fingers, twist hands in all the way toward chest, elbows rest at your ribs, hands near your heart... now try to move individual fingers on certain hands, no touching fingers, just think it, then do it... hard isn't it?  Although my body understands the motions (whether criss-cross fingers or twisted rope),  I'm not familiar with this context so it simultaneously makes sense yet feels completely strange.  Fun to turn it all inside out to see what my body really knows.
    Overall an interesting life pondering though, are you actually good at XYZ or are you great at XYZ but only if ABCDEFGHI......  The athletes,  leaders and people that I deeply admire may have come into thier expertise via a certain environment, system of leadership, or set of ideas, but ultimately they are not dependent on those tools, they just are.

Spinning... and seeing eachother

Look Mom!!!  ( yep, I actually sent this to my mom...)
