One of R:
He's in his Boy Scout uniform, on the indoor basketball court at the church where the meetings are held. Impulsively, he does a front handspring, just missing sticking the landing. I had seen him do the front, but only on a trampoline or tumbletrack, not on a solid floor without any spring to it.
One of M:
She's playing the piano. Two handed. It's a simple piece, but it has chords sprinkled throughout the mostly single-note melody. She has to switch modes and rapidly move her hands to chords. It's hard work, learning that transition. But with each time through the piece, her transition time shortens and the tempo of the piece improves. The energy wrapped around her as she does this exercise? calm and satisfaction. Learning new skills on the piano seems to relax her, not make her tense. Because of this, I love it when she practices; her calmness spreads to me whenever she plays.
I'm overdue to post some video pieces. I'd better fix that.
