Javelin and Throws

Reading about our athletes' javelin and discus, I remember fixing the warp beam on my loom. The true throw, ka don, it is not just strength. It is in the release, like letting the shuttle fly, with just the right tension so everything lands exactly where the heart intends.

A fellow craftsperson's bhawna is always clear. My own hands only know the gentle throw of chalk dust, but your words about the warp beam... they make me see the athlete's art anew.

Ain, you make such a fine point—my crosswords with papa taught me the same, that the real ‘kitem’ is in the gentle release, not the force.

Aah, the ‘ka don’ of the release! It is like pulling out the wax core from the clay mould—a little too much haste and the whole thing crumbles. My heart knows that same quiet tension.
