it’s a balance between momentum and pressure. steam rolling forward while keeping the center intact. if you look too closely at anything, inside, outside, your guts or the scenenary outside, focus on anywhere for too long, you’re lost, the momentum gets lost, the center flies apart.

you need to go fast enough to keep going but not too fast lest the centrifugal force breaks it apart.

and by keeping your eyes moving, roving, attentive, alert -but never closed- don’t you dare close your eyes- you just might be able to strike a balance, to find some middle ground that is safe.

but until then, it’s all bare knuckles and clenched teeth and utter complete madness.
