Countdown

A countdown in general may be said to be both a pre-liminary and a reversal, a set of numbers growing towards zero, towards a starting point, beginning.

That kind of leading-in still pertains here. At the same time, there's an additional sense, of summary or summation, a condensation, of the film in its entirety, its five chapters etc. Maybe one could speak of a kind of quint-essentiality: of a space with three breaths, a point flashing, a pulse flickering.

If you've seen the film, did you notice them? Flashpoint and flickering, of yellowish light, would mean something like Attention and Continued Attention. The three breaths would express being attentive in inter-playing terms: Openness, Friendliness, Hereness.

Openness would be something like coming into the situation with a radically open mind, a shedding of biases and greed, ultimately also in terms of what one wants to gain from this kind of activity.

Friendliness means friendliness, in other words will it be possible to remain effortlessly open and friendly towards the entire athletic field and onwards, including opponents, referees, umpires, etc., players and people who may not at all share your views or join you in conduct.

The third breath brings in Hereness, being right here, taking an open, friendly attitude into the situation at hand, into its very details, letting approach and perception of things come together, cohesively.
