clouds in the sky

The other night, my daughter discovered my race bike. When left standing by the wall, it's not the most stable thing in the world. That's because I took out the stand to be more lightweight. And, of course, it looks cooler without it. So after turning the bike upside-down for Isa's safety, she started playing with the wheels. Then she started playing with the pedals. Then she saw me press one of the brake handles to stop the rear wheel, so she started playing with that, too.

That got me thinking about the level of my practice compared to Teacher's. I'm still a baby trying to circlewalk the right way. My legs are still unstable. Teacher once said to be “steady like the clouds in the sky when circlewalking.” Whenever I do the horse stance, even though I can go lower now, my legs still wobble.

Like my daughter playing with my bike, I still have a long way to go.
