Wing Chun

The solitary meditation,
The sensitive balance,
And the hands weave
Forces.
The small defeats the large.

Feel the direction and force of the attack
And turn it against your opponent,
Occupying the centre,
Wedged against the brunt.
It takes so long to understand
The power of the simple.
What is the reason for each movement?
Turn the onslaught aside
And watch it undo itself.

Triangulate energies
Through the tetrahedron,
The interconnecting pyramids
Of your body,
Till,as subtle as a spider,
Sensing motions along the web,
You become the other.
