And if we turn our magic card over we find that there's lots of beautiful B words. We talked about beauty, and oh this is a big one, you're going to find that you're going to come in very face-to-face contact with your own brain because it takes a lot of brain power and coordination of mind and hand and body and all to do calligraphy. And then there's breath because you have to pay attention to your breath. You're going to breath out, you're going to exhale on some of the more difficult strokes, but basically speaking you're just going to breathe as normally as you can, but I would say be aware of your breath. And then here's the big word. This is a big important word. Balance. Everything that you're going for is balance here. You're going for the balance of the letter as it stands there. You're going for balance in your sense of how it is that you're creating, how it is that you're creating a piece. How it's going to sit on the page.
