I saw Buddhist monks dance on poles . They held on with their hands, heads down, legs pointing stiffly straight up and they HOPPED UP the pole. I knew for sure it was trick photography. As i watched I found I was wrong. What a joy it must be to think and then do. To think, “Oh, I’d like to hang up side down then hop to the pole beside me, retaining this position.” and then just do it.
Rabi Lapin talks about hard and easy choices. There’s a small joy in sitting in a lazy chair all your life, but ask that monk if it’s not a bigger one to fly through the air.nancymauerman.com
