the box

after about five minutes of sparring, the beginner was frustrated that he could not do anything with me...

student: "i don't know what to do."

me: "you are fighting well. your grip fight is good. but, you are spending all your time worrying about the grip, instead of attacking me."

few minutes later...

me: "fantastic. now i am worried about your attacks."

student: "but i am still not getting anywhere."

me: "well, your attacks are fine. but, to me, it feels like everything you do is confined within this box around you. and i am not in that box."

i am constantly giddy over the similarities of the different worlds that i live. in the tango, what can be better than the moment when my partner and i are together in our cocoon?
