A room for people who have stood on one leg and felt something, and would like to say so out loud.

What this is

It is not a library. There is a library — it is called the school, and it is through a different door.

This is a room where you talk. You did the practice. Something happened, or nothing happened, and either way you now know something you did not know an hour ago. That is worth saying, and it is worth hearing.

I read everything here, and I answer.

What you need to come in

You need to have stood.

That is the entire requirement. Not a course, not a book, not a word of the vocabulary. If you have taken the ten minutes and put your foot down again, you belong here as fully as anyone.

Where to start

There is one thread waiting, and it asks one question: What happened when you stood?

Not what you think it meant. What it was like. Did you wobble? Did you laugh? Did your foot come down four times? Did the warmth arrive at the sternum, or did you feel nothing at all and wonder whether you'd done it wrong?

There is no wrong answer and nothing to get right. I have been doing this for forty-five years and I still come down off the leg some days.

Scroll down and tell me.

Warmth at the sternum, still sounding.
