beyond technique.........................

 The gesture is the incarnation of the verb; that is, an action is a thought made manifest.

      A small gesture betrays us, so we must polish everything, think about details, learn the technique in such a way that it becomes intuition.  Intuition has nothing to do with routine, but with a state of mind that is beyond technique.

     So, after much practicing, we no longer think about the necessary movements; they become part of our own existence.  But for this to happen, you must practice and practice.

     And if that isn't enough, you must repeat and practice.

-Paulo Coelho, The Archer
