Bipedalism, one leg stays on the ground (the supporting leg), the free leg moves. We all do it, every day, step by step.
In German the free leg literally translated is called the play-leg, Spielbein; the supporting leg is the stand-leg, Standbein.
Spielbein, Standbein, Spielbein, Standbein...
Gotta keep them moving. It's a balancing act.
And meeting other legs can be really great! Some are to walk with, some to dance with, some to run with, some to stay with. Some make your knees really weak and with luck you can walk for a while in unison, a firm solid Standbein, a fun loyal Spielbein. Perfect!
Every now and then one of the pairs of legs loses step, makes a faux-pas, or starts limping. The other pair might wait, help them back up on their feet or stand up for them.
From some legs you walk away, some walk away from you.
From some legs you walk away, some walk away from you.
Legit.
Not so uncommon is that someones steps take us by surprise.
Bad surprise. Wham - You just got kicked in your - booty.
Hard to figure out if the reason is a shaky Standbein or a Spielbein that's in for foul play, but you don't recognize these legs anymore... What the hack is going on?!?
Good gone bad, yin and yang, black and white... Contradictions. The bipolarity of life.
Yes, we all stand on two feet... are always both (to some extend).
A stable Standbein is probably the best security if a meany (or clumsy) Spielbein tries to make you trip. To keep your Spielbein flexible and being able to get your foot up fast, at least, lets say ball-high, isn't such a bad idea either.
To kick back?
No, not to kick back - to know you could.
If you can lift your food up head-high - even better.
To kick back?
No, not to kick back.
To tango baby....!!! In the dark.
Tango 'till you're sore!!!!
