Dolly does not push the swing; the swing pushes Dolly.
It is unclear who commands the motion — Dolly or the swing. What is certain is that once she sits, the world tilts with her, and the rhythm becomes less game and more ritual.
Control vs. Compulsion
Most swings move with legs and laughter. Dolly’s moves with inevitability. You can’t tell if she is swinging or being swung. Either way, the push is not yours.
The Lesson in Power
Power isn’t always about who starts the motion. Sometimes it’s about surrendering just enough for the motion to claim you. Dolly doesn’t ride the swing; she communes with it — and the air obeys.
Practical Guidance
Question control: Ask whether you control the swing, or it carries you.
Respect the motion: What carries you may also consume you.
Beware the rhythm: Some games become ceremonies before you notice.
Today’s Practice
Today, swing — and wonder whether the push is yours.
