“
anything
that
happens
,”
the
priestess assures
me
,
“
happens
with
the
permission
of
the
universe
.”
so
i
place
my
body
perpendicular
to
the
line
,
a
neutral stance
with
feet
shoulder
width
apart
.
my
fevered
fingers
graze
red
fletching.
when
i
draw
the
stringed
bow
back
,
my
elbow
glides
to
meet
the
euclidean axiom “
things
which
coincide
with
one
another
are
equal
to
one
another
.”
i
aim
my
intention
with
a
single
arrow.
the
archer’s
bible
says
that
instinctive
shooting relies upon
the
subconscious
mind
,
a
follow
-through occurring
within
the
body
:
i
relax
my
fingers
.
i
release
my
breath
.
fire
.
