Torben Ulrich's note:
11. Imprints of practice. Practice as continuum.
Continuum as (1) staying on, within framework of certain field of
expression, or (2) staying on, within framework of certain principles,
guidelines, but shifting into a different field of expression.
More explicit difference between (1) and (2) would be, say, going
from music to architecture. Smaller step would mean staying within
field, say ink on rice paper, but shifting, as here, from something
predominantly skipped, to something thrown: marks at end of movement,
swing, but not involving leaps of feet.
Still bearing in mind: leap as small fired-up moment, leaving space
between earth and air; fluidity, flexibility as element of water,
when ball of foot, bended knees reconnect with ground.
Again, more figuratively: narrowing of skipped parabola, closer to
cluster of singular lines, folded rope now thrown. Throwing movement
as swing, as fuller swing of serving motion. Serving not only as
initiating play (like calling out in olden days, as in French for '
Hold it', or 'Attention': Tenez!). Serving also as continuum,
as ongoing, durational, friendly attention, serving play, serving
fellow players, serving fellow beings, serving ending warfare, and
further, no end.
(Number refers to this note, not the work's reference number. These notes can be read on their own and also as an ensemble, or set
of concentric circles that can be read both from outside in and inside out. See the full Notes on Balligraphies.)
