Thanks to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for joining in with the fabulous flute impro.

A "Zwiefacher" is a folk dance from bavarian and austrian regions. It is composed of alternating 3 and 2 bars and if you do not know the pattern, you need to listen... and then allow it to flow and trust your partner to do the same. If you can do that, your dance will be smooth and stable even in a place as small as a table - the eyes of your partner and the turning axis between you stable and calm like the eye of a hurricane.

"Listening" is not obeying orders. Listening means to be fully here and now and open up to the moment from a soft and flexible position of inner strength and respect. Listening is an energetic quality in Tai Chi Ch'uan.

Listening  - Zwiefacher (feat. joerxworx)

She
stares at black and white replays
He
wanders through his yesterdays

Looks like
faces from a different day
Beside
buildings that we used to make

When the world was simple
and skies re-drawn
know your history love
When you're lost in taillights
and darkness falls
For you
memory song

She
stares at faces on the wall
He
remembers when the world was small

Just as daylight fades
like the surest storm
Oh you're heading for home
When you're lost in headlights
and darkness falls
For you memory song

You can count the lines
worn between the eyes
You can count the lines right here
One day at a time

When the world came easy
and skies re-drawn
Know your history love
When you're lost in taillights
and darkness falls
For you 
memory song

Oh sunshine 
One day a time..
