I begin jumping this rope with no outward attention placed
on the viewer, I become removed and concentrative. I place my goal on distance and endurance; I
want to mentally prepare myself for some of the battles out there for the war is too big
to think of now. But the realization
lies in the obvious, I am not out there I am in here, supposedly, and securely, safe from… So too I am safe when in my
room, where I jump for fitness and mental distance; the fertilizing grounds for
such projects, so I am safe then...!
She said that this was her metaphor for dealing with the silent
bullets which infiltrate her psyche whenever she steps outside, damaging her
electrodes, her stability and often leaving her mute and internally
question-full. She said she will fight
with all her might, with all her might, with all her might, but first she must
train. Like the boxer she must devote
her time towards strengthening her inner eye to sights so minute they are
beginning to be like germs, there but note seen – she hopes they are there, yet
doesn’t want them there.
She jumps on, feeling the pinch on the back of her ankles,
is it really her Achilles hill, will it really be her weakness. She notices ever so often, when her
concentration is broken off by sudden movements from the peripheral, that she’s
getting really tired, really, really tired.
