Do it

The instructions are simple: stand up, squat down, straighten up, put your heart into it. Not into someone else, but into your back. A dance where each command sounds like a spell, and repetition is not for memorisation, but to capture the body.

At first, it seems like just fun. But then you suddenly realise: this is almost meditation. The rhythm is like an internal metronome. Knees in, heels on the ground, ‘not in the bum, but in the back’ - like the motto of everyone who is tired of holding on but holds on anyway.

And yes, ‘not do it’ sounds suspiciously often. But there is also charm in this: sometimes the main thing is just to start moving. The rest will follow.
