clarity

There is a trick with sacks of potatoes. The string looks machine sewn, I know there must be a simple way of cutting one spot then the whole thing opens easily, but I don’t know where it is or if I am dreaming and it isn’t even based on reality. I try again with every new five pound bag. There is a trick with Bb which allows my left hand to swoop in more aggressively. Have to use right hand knowledge of D since both have two black notes eager to trip me if I doze off. Also if I play Eb and Bb in that sequence (pinky and thumb), it is quicker to feel the shape of a 5th than as a 4th – Bb and Eb.There’s a trick with spinach. You transfer it to a plastic bag and squeeze the air out. I suck it out with a straw, then compress it as much as possible (careful not to be mean). Then a rubber band around it keeps the compression intact and you might get more than two weeks with no wilting. The trick with E is playing the inverted image so that when one thumb is on E, the other thumb would be on C. The trick is to play like a mirror so that the brain need only think about one side, the other can follow since it only mimics. There is a trick with most grains. Add them only once a rolling boil is achieved then leave the temperature unchanged until a new boil happens with the grain. Then instantly remove it from the heat and let it sit undisturbed cooking in that heat. If you peak you ruin how fluffy it could be if you only waited. There is a trick that happens when you leave something and return to it much later. The trick of clarity. No matter how experienced you are, if you don’t wait it will always fool you. Contracts, emails, relationships – more clarity arrives tomorrow.
