Archery
June 4, 2019
Notching the arrow, the chill refreshing my fingers.
Creating a picture in my mind of the arrow lodging itself into the target.
Pulling back, using my strength in my core to prepare for launch.
Breathing in then out releasing on the exhale.
Letting go of the arrow; letting go of my bad thoughts.
Watching the arrow fly free like a baby bird flying out of its nest for its first successful flight.
Mind blank, no distractions, just pulling back and releasing.
