Half a Step Slower

17 min

An ordinary movement is slowed to half its usual pace: reaching, turning, lifting a hand, setting something down. As speed drops away, the action opens into small starts, joins and endings, including the narrow space between deciding and doing. The practice stays practical and embodied, asking only for enough slowness to notice the hidden inside of motion.
