just did a rehearsal. note to self- kind of hard on gravel, but definitely should try again soon on sand and also in the water surfing during a wipe out.
thought about those lovely lines from the film 'monsieur ibrahim'-
''They spin around their hearts. God is in their hearts. It's like a prayer.
They lose all their bearings, that burden we call balance. They become
like torches. They burn in a blazing fire.''
