Sun soaked.
The weather was so nice today that I took a walk during lunch. I was feeling well enough that I did some cane work during the walk. Wow. My technique has grown so since last year. For one, I feel much less need to grasp the cane, sometimes doing without hands entirely. For another, there's a distinct feeling at times that, rather than being manipulated, the cane is floating among my hands. While I'm not exactly proficient with moving the cane above the elbow, it's most definitely a comfortable thing to do. And now there are times when the most natural thing to do is to pass the cane behind my back. I still drop it a lot. However, the catches are coming easier.
The most unexpected part is how tired I am after the session. The closer the cane comes to the center of the body, the more I have to move my whole body. And my whole body is more involved with every movement, even when the cane is dancing among the wrists.
There's no way I can properly express the amazement at where this journey has taken me, nor in how excited I am to see where it is going.
