How liberating!

How liberating it is to move your body to the rhythm of an orchestra of musicians. To go against this rhythm will ruin the natural flow of the atmosphere created by those who have gathered to escape, to practise, to train for the real world. Those who have gathered wish to simply to 'play,' to learn how to move the rhythm of the world. Once it is understood how the world works, how the rhythm guides and how it guides the opposition, the realisation comes that within this rhythm, it is possible to have your own rhythm and not disrupt the rhythm and flow of the world. In this Microcosm, the the battle ensues, and until the lesson is learnt, the same situation will haunt the inhabitant of the world. Unless the inhabitant of this world learns to adapt and to live in the moment, they will always be a step behind the rhythm and pace of the world. The warrior within you knows that training is a vital component of preparation. Thus to 'play' in a microcosm prepares every part of the being to battle in the macrocosm.

The roda of Capoeira is one such microcosm. How liberating it is!
