91 4.15 On With The Show And On The Road Again... (1/2)

In the morning, as Pornsak was still lying in bed, I slithered out from bed slowly as not to wake her up. My bedroom clock showed half-past four in the morning and it's still abit early for me to head for my office to read some of my colleagues and grab some equipment.

I slowly stride over to the bathroom to freshen up first and once done, I head to the kitchen to prepare toast bread for breakfast as what I had normally done the other morning.

I used my kitchen phone and called my office colleague and instructed them to prepare some video and photography equipment as a formality. I explained to them my plan for the day and told them to be ready in the office as usual.

After preparing toast bread and the assortment of spreads on the dining table, I prepared the assortment of drinks sachet as well as it would be better to make a choice of everything rather than sticking to the usual stuff.

I peeked my head inside the bedroom and saw that Pornsak had stirred from her slumber. I gingerly walked over and gave a big hug and kiss on her cheek and told her that breakfast would be served soon. She tried to pull me in bed and I laughed saying we got a big day ahead and would need the energy to pull through at least till the evening.

She nodded and stifled her yawn with the back of her hand as she proceeded to head for the shower room. I left the bedroom and went to the kitchen to place the kettle on the cooker hob to boil some water.

I looked at the fire that was beneath the kettle and I thought about what the Monk had told me before. A fire can be a friend that brings you warmth and comfort and as well as prepare food for sustenance.

A fire can also be an enemy if it gets out of control. I peered at the burnt mark of the side of the walla adjoining the kitchen and the living room and the mark that was left there was quite a large radius.

I wondered what happened if this were to strike a human being and what kind of damage it will affect the recipient. It's going to be a battle of blasts from afar if this were to be recorded on video. Surely its gonna make a sensation among movie makers especially if they were to make combat arts movies.

Waiting for the water to boil, I stood on in the middle of the kitchen and somehow I made a move that was not taught before. As the Monk said, the Mother Earth is the one that makes us rooted to the ground and balanced while allowing our limbs to move freely as if in a breeze, I stood while balancing myself on two feet while I let my whole body weight on one leg. This posture is something called 'standing on one leg' or a posture while waiting in a line of a queue.

I closed my eyes and stood there for some time, breathing through my nose and exhaling through my pursed lips. I felt that the whole body weight seemed rooted on one leg that I was standing while the other was sort of sweeping the floor in a circular motion. I sort of subconsciously raised both hands in front of me in upturned position while making a kind of yin yang outline with both arms.

I stood pivoted on the ground with my whole leg on the ground and somehow my left sweeping leg made me like a ballerina on a music box. I felt peaceful and the movements of my hands seemed very fluid.

I was moving my upturned hands and exchanging positions while I was twirling slowly. It was a pleasant sensation that radiated from my third eye chakra and evolves throughout the rest of the chakra points.

The whistling of the kettle awoke me from my meditative, swirling ballerina-like movement in the middle of my kitchen and I opened my eyes and stopped my breathing exercise slowly. I relaxed my hands at my side and regain back my posture and reached my hand to switch off the gas regulator on my cooker hood.

All this while unbeknownst to me, Pornsak was leaning against the bedroom frame door and watching me. She clapped her hands when I finished the swirling ballerina-like movement in the kitchen and said, ”Aroon, you never failed to amaze me in every single bit of what you had done. Not only you surpassed me in your tier of Chi Levels, but you also had acquired the Kamehameha movement that could be used to wipe out your enemies. I am proud of you having you beside me, Thirak”

*Thirak means darling*
