BJJ Meditations: On the eve of battle

June 9th, 2023

Nothing stands between me and the moment but time, and what is time but the liminal space between the here and now?

That shifting zone where the wave hits the sand?

This image was created by Dall-E AI, using the following prompt, which was refined by Chat GPT: Compose a symbolic painting that captures the cyclical ebb and flow of life. The central image should be a figure on the precipice of a vast, shifting beach, symbolizing the 'liminal space' between action and inaction, where a wave continually crashes onto the sand. The painting should convey an underlying circular sense of hopeful continuity and growth.

There will be inaction, then action, then inaction. There will be a violent struggle that will fill as much of that ephemeral space as necessary. There will be a spectrum of human emotions, from joy to anguish. There will be physical pain, suffering. There will be medals and free T-shirts and overpriced acai.

And then what?

Inaction, then action, then inaction, then action – forever. Hopefully, learning and growth interspersed throughout.

May the circle be unbroken. May I choose to remain in the circle – forever. May I remember what brought me here in the first place.
