Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

Suspension of Consciousness


One sound, the sound of rain tapping on the window is the only sound entering the room on this gloomy day.
It makes a body shrivel up into a sea of blankets and a school of pillows. 
The pair of eyes is starting to swell as the sleep is fought off by an army of straining body muscles.
Sleep is victorious and it’s off to another world for the sleeper.
The dream catcher is taking a break and allowing the imagination to roam the brain and travel from place to place until all of the senses are involved in a movie that only the sleeper can experience.
A few hours pass and the sleeper is awake. 
The sleeper begins with a refreshing yawn and a bodily stretch to begin another day.
