The changing of focus in the eye, moving the eye itself when looking at things that do not move, deepens one’s sense of outer reality. Then static things may be caught in the very act of becoming.

随线的父母得知后也惊喜不已，他们还告诉我“杂草的故事”的作者理查德梅比就住在附近不远。而随线本人说“我穿越半个地球遇到你，以为你是来自另一个世界的人，没想到你却和我父母读着同样的书，after all 也许我们没有那么不一样。”
十月份时我们一起去看 Alex 和 Tommy 一起登 Fitz 的纪录片 A Line Across The Sky，我这位著名的风控狂人朋友说，「电影是个好电影，但是他们也太不小心了，每一步都是关乎生死的大事，他们还有心情开玩笑？」 我告诉他说，我读过Alex的传记，里面说了很多那些看似疯狂的计划背后的故事，对与这些专业运动员来讲，一旦上了墙，剩下来的就只有execution，而更多的工作，已经在上去之前就完成了。就像那些最伟大的画家一样，看似用最随意的线条创作出随意的效果，但实际上每一笔都是非常认真的。
“All the soloing I had done during the previous several years had taught me the value of preparation. But I’d never prepared for a free solo as diligently as I did for Moonlight. Rehearsing the moves on toprope for two days until I had every sequence lodged in my memory was crucial, but so were those days of just sitting and thinking. Imagining every placement of each hand and foot all the way up the huge route. Visualizing everything that could happen. . . . In a real sense, I performed the hard work of that free solo during the days leading up to it. Once I was on the climb, it was just a matter of executing.” ― from “Alone on the Wall“
