I am a very good archer. I use archery as my way of meditation. I cannot sit down and just meditate in the classical sense. I am very active. So, I use archery. I have my bow, my arrow and I use this tension and relaxation in the second after throwing the arrow. And it is my way to meditate and this is the only thing that clears my mind.

You will see with other eyes and measure with other measures. It has happened to me too, and it happens to all who are touched by the spirit of this art.
