... just reminded myself that I have been out of practice for a while:
all the places I used the word "law" should be corrected, it should say
"principle". There are 4 or 5 "principles" and maybe a 6th is in the
making. And the Law refers to the Law of Two Feet.
To label what I perceive as "facts of life" "principles" is the
tongue-in-cheek I love in Harrisons writing (Wikipedia has the meaning
"The idiom tongue-in-cheek refers to a humorous or sarcastic statement
expressed in a mock serious manner.") and talking. Same applies to the
usage of "Law" in this context.
Discovering the ease of being (Leichtigkeit des Seins) woven into the
ost process and playing on it brought the breakthrough in my approach to
ost... dancing with the force of selforganisation.
Cheers from Berlin
