My point exactly, the greats, make you feel like it is real. Rest assured this is no more real than the lure we place on the end of the fishing hook. It is simply a ploy to make you bite. That is one half of the game. The other half is for you to be floating on air when you leave. That is my measurement for a great session. To me, probably all of us, it is like a drug, it is a drug. That feeling of relaxation, fulfillment, and chi flowing through our bodies personifies what we all have come to know as "the hobby".
The bad providers, make you sorry you came, and concurrently, make you appreciate the great ones, even when they hoist their prices.
