Yielding

Give and take is a fallacy. In reality there is only give and give.

That is, things don't stop giving—living—when they receive or in order to receive. And, in fact, tension is the result of (and then results in) interrupting that process of giving—living. So, on a very fundamental level, which should be the one we are looking for, yielding is not giving way or making space or getting out of the way, but is simply standing firm, being as present (alive) as possible, and receiving the world into the body.
