Have you ever watched a gorilla or bear eat? It’s hard to look away.
Or seen a mushroom release its spores, a bumblebee pollinate, an orca glide through the water?
There is nothing extra in their movement. It’s precise. It’s right.
The creature is absorbed in life and in harmony with itself.
There is no posing. No strain. No pretense.
That deep absorption in being is what makes it irresistible.
You look the same to others—when you forget about them completely.
But with time, it becomes harder to enter that state. Even alone, you feel a critical gaze inside. It cuts the game short, gives a lecture, points out your “mistakes.”
And still, there are activities where the critic has no place: grappling, dancing, sex, reading a book, deep conversation, creating, meditating, riding a motorcycle, building a business, gardening, cooking, surfing.
Each person has his own way to stop performing—and simply be.
Know this: in that moment, you are divinely beautiful.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
