Straight and still she stood on the dark roadside, only her hands in rapid motion, only her lips repeating over and over again, “Practice, practice, night and day. . .” Her movement gradually stopped. The murmurs ceased. Evona drew in and held a deep breath. Then exhaled. Another. Held. Exhaled. The breaths came more quickly, released more suddenly. Evona’s arms spread to her sides. Again the intake. The hold. The release. Then as she sensed a readiness, a long long breath, a hold, and a bend at the waist. At the same moment her knees moved and her feet lifted from the dirt; she clasped her arms about her legs and ducked her head, a slow-motion folding into a foetal position. She closed her eyes tighter, concentrated upon the air which bore her—caressing it inside her lungs, rolling against it outside her body. She knew herself to be suspended now, just a few centimeters above the ground, a ball barely hovering in space. She bobbed a moment and lifted to the right, to the left, even spun now a little until her weight centered. Then she settled, back up, gradually rocking to a gentle floating on the air. She found herself repeating:

The wind she lifts my laughter

and bearing both my pain and joy

she thus my body bears.
