It’s like that moment in guard, the one where you would do a toss or trick & you know you’re not going to catch it or you’re going to mess up. I’m caught in that in between. Those few beats where that rifle is in the air & I’m anticipating how to recover from the mistake. If I don’t do it right, I’m screwed for messing up & not recovering well. If I do anticipate correctly, then yes, I made a mistake, but it doesn’t have to continue that way. Points for recovery.
