somehow i got into shooting a bow and arrows. so when i have a minute, and nobody is around, i practice on a haystack that ed set up in front of our house, with an apple on top.
i didn't realize that it requires quite a bit of arm strength to pull the string on the bow and to keep it steady while focusing on shooting the arrow.
why i feel so drawn to this is because i feel it allows me to focus my attention and energy fully and completely, for a short amount of time, in a way that very few other things do. and then, of course there's the satisfaction of hitting the apple.
so i haven't done much of it yet, because i've been sick and the kids have been around. i feel that this is something i want to do alone, and i'm looking forward to more of it.
peace
