Walking,
submerging in movement,
needs no entity telling the right foot to move,
telling the knee to bend,
naming the ground, confirming the step.
Walking needs no ‘I’.
The blurring of self sensation.
A falling away of activity,
my generation of self
no longer ongoing
walking, and only walking. (Sandström, response to exploration of walking, May, 2008)
Training has the potential to reveal that actions, such as walking, need no ‘I’ present, and that the ‘naming’ of self and experience serves to locate the performer outside of experience.
