Supposedly, there are things that are ingrained,in your being though inactive for a long while. They have even earned a word of Dormant because they have been frequently observed.
In basketball, I was taught something called "muscle recall". That if you practiced enough free throws it would happen everytime because your muscles would learn a response, like riding a bike. Whenever I stepped up to the line, in this case, and followed the same routine my body would recognize it's position and duty and would naturally make the basket every attempt. This worked in convincing me to redundantly practice a routine, but I wondered why more people did not do this and why with all of the financial and popular reward offered one who devoted them self to such practice, why would anyone still miss.
I was being lazy and so I,let,my son play with my laptop to keep him from fighting with his sister. I always eavesdrop though to make sure he doesn't accidentally stumble on thing which he ought not. It is my obligation to protect his mind. So I over hear a lot of things. But, among those things was a contest for songwriting. And my interest was piqued.
Maybe this was my chance to use a dormant skill to better the world. It was something I would have totally done in my earlier days, but a little voice whispered, "It's like riding a bike. Just do it." So, I am writing a,New song. I seriously doubt that I will enter, but it got me doing something I love again.
Even with no other reward, this is something I will always come back to. I have very little ability remaining, but I will gladly practice and use it. There is a line in the movie "Anonymous" where Edward.Davere is asked why he persists in writing plays and poetry. I think my purpose for writing songs is the same, "it is my soul."
A bit about,me. I could not eat or walk at one point, it seemed the wisest decision would,have been to just,cease, but I persisted and clung to what I could do until I could do more. And though it required a miracle, by most standards, I now can walk and I obviously have not been harmed at all in my ability to consume.
Currently, I have new teeth and my gums are healing from surgery, so I am not able to eat much, but literally, I see how to apply the teaching again of, "line upon,line". Baby step by baby step I will be able to return to what I was before.
