This year I started doing 10 minutes of dynamic exercises to improve my mobility and flexibility every morning. One thing I found surprising is that I have noticed small but perceivable improvements in my swimming performancd. My range of motion has improved or restored to a state I already forgot I had. My body had accustomed to a degree of stiffness. Now I can feel my body cutting through the body lf water like a knife, with the torso and shoulders rotating more effectively. I suppose it is analogous to wearing a pair of glasses for the first tkme and opening your eyes to a distant world one had forgotten it existed. I wonder how many other states of being are out there within one’s reach, and how one goes to unlock them.
