Intention And Action Are One
Your field of endeavor doesn’t really matter
Some training in a chosen discipline helps
But the essence is in the secret ‘batter’
The secret batter is the meditative tendency
To completely relax and allow your mind to open
Let go of all preconceptions and dependency
In that relaxed and open state, mind and body
Reaction time explodes exponentially
Only then can intention and action be one
Seeming simultaneity…
–LE – 2/1/26
PS: Some have referred to it as a ‘Zen state of mind’. This applies to any endeavors, whether creative arts, ink on paper, paint on canvas, martial endeavors, or merely driving in rush hour traffic… the same principles will ease the day…; -)

Wonderful sentiments, but I can’t seem to completely relax, even when painting. I think I’m too detail oriented. 🙄

Yes, but even ‘details’ can be expressed more easily if the mind and body are relaxed… in that ‘zen state’… also known as ‘in the zone’…; -)

I must have been born the way I am…and don’t see it changing at this late date. But I’m okay with it. 😊
