The String Form

A teal alien holds a bow stance with an open-palm strike beside a carved wall, under green aurora above a canyon.

In the bow stance the front knee bends and the back leg stays long. The lead palm strikes forward while the rear hand guards the body. Power comes from the back foot pushing into the ground, which is mastery of the physical laws.

Senara is invented. The green curtains are an aurora, made when fast particles excite gases in the upper atmosphere. The carvings are inspired by string theory, which remains a theoretical idea with no detection.

Practice

Step into bow stance and push one palm forward, ten times each side.
