Weight

As we grow up, we discover things, even those we already know.
A few days ago, I found out bodies have a weight.

How do we move? We shift our weight, ahead to walk forward, behind to step back. When one is aware of the bodyweight, one can move faster, whirl more graciously....
The tightrope walkers, the dancers are probably the ones who are most aware of weight and balance.
It's so heady to control our weight, shift it that way, or this way ; throw out your leg here and jump, and swirl...
I'm no good at dancing, but I don't care. I am now able to whirl and whirl like a snowflake, just with a right move of my leg. I can jump quite far, not just thanks to the feet that gives the impetus, but to the weight of the other leg.
My legs are sore from hours of jumping, but everybody should try it. They should teach things like this at school.
