Intention

From my At-A-Distance work report on Intention:

Sunday:

...Brushing my teeth - suddenly recall there's a toast being done in the kitchen - rush off to get there. Halfway there I notice there was no Intention in my movement.

1:34 p.m. I'm standing - just about to leave to the kitchen. I can't find the inner stillness. It is clear that without this stillness there's no real Intention.

Go for a walk. Stop few times on the way to reconnect with the original intention of walking with the awareness of the body. I quickly realize that the intellectual attempt to stay in touch with this intention is not going to work...

Monday:

I visited the Alexander Training School today. There was a signigicant difference in the way I moved after the day of work. The intention was kind of dwelling in my body and I was present to it. It was simple, effortless and non-intellectual. Actually thinking about it seemed to spoil the experience...
