Imagine yourself, sitting in it right now at this time, a tire swing, and it
and you are just swinging back and forth, exactly as you want it and you to,
with the air feeling just like the air feels on the edges of your lips or nostrils
when you breathe in and you breathe out. And as you swing, the breeze caresses
your body like a mother or a lover, now your back, now your face.
Try using your
breath to kick off and pump your tire swing back into the air. Inhale your
tireswing as far back as it can go, then exhale it down until you
find yourself almost stopped. If you want, you can even hold your
breath, freezing the swing in mid-air. And then let out, and go.
The breeze on your imagined body should feel exactly like the air
on
the edges
of your lips and nostrils when you inhale extra hard, or exhale extra hard,
when you drink the air in or blow the air out.
And just like the
air that passes through your lips and nose, the air that caresses
you when you’re on the tire swing never really stops for
long. It just reaches the end of one direction, and then goes in
the other. The ride back starting
just when the ride up ends.
And unlike the ride you get from any imagined commercial
swingset, the ride on your Deep Fun All-Weather Inner Playground
Ten Button Tire swing can take
you
almost any direction – not only back and forth, but in circles and arcs,
spinning and twisting, lines and spirals. So you could be just spinning on
your tire swing if you so desired, back and forth, with each breath, spinning,
and
maybe lying back at the same time, with your head so far back you can see the
sky underneath you and the ground overhead. Turning in the breezes of your
breath. Without any effort at all.
And because it’s in your pretend playground,
your tire swing is on a surprisingly long rope, hanging surprisingly high
off the ground, from a surprisingly tall
tree on an amazingly long branch. A tree on the edge of a cliff, surprisingly
high above the ocean and city, sparkling in the sunset light. And no, no,
you can’t fall off, unless you want to or have to. And if
you did fall, you’d
probably fly. And no, no, the rope can’t break, and neither can the
tree and neither can the branch. And yes, the branch swings too, sometimes
so low
that it seems like you’re actually going to scrape the ground. But
you never do. Not the tire. Not your feet. Not your head. Unless
you want to.
Imagine yourself swinging and spinning, the air going passed
you just like
the air going in and out of your nose, in and out of your mouth, in and
out of your
lungs, caressing your whole body like it caresses the edges of your nostrils,
the edges of your lips.
And this time, to get higher still, you give the
air an extra push, pumping the tire swing far, far back, as long
as you can breath out. And then you
let the
air come back into you, and the swing arc down and over the cliff and up
into the evening sky. Not like you’re actually breathing the air
in, but more the air is coming into you, filling you. And then, again,
you push the air out,
pumping the tire swing back and up, so high that you can see the whole
tree, the whole city, the whole ocean, the whole sky.
And then you just
let yourself ride, your breath the only thing that moves you, until…because
it’s just a playground and you’re just a player
and you’re only playing…you find yourself somewhere else,
completely at play with something else or someone else, not at all aware
that there
is any breath there at all.
And you forget that you are swinging and
forget that you are breathing. And you just let go, let go, entirely,
tirelessly, and the tire swing is nowhere
around, and you
are breathing without you, not even thinking about breathing. Not even
thinking
about tire swings. Not even swinging.
Breathing, but not noticing.
Forgetting utterly that you’re even
supposed to remember. Until you find yourself floating elsewhere entirely,
drifting, toying
with this or that or this and that, this dream or that, this playground.
Until,
magically, you notice it again, your breath again, and again you
find yourself, back in your tire swing, exactly where you left
off, swinging
back
and forth, freely, unstoppably. Higher than you thought possible
and higher still. Back and forth. The air touching, caressing you.
The
sounds of your
breath coming
and going along with the creak of the rope as it twists in the
imaginary breath that suspends you.
Technical Specifications for the Deep Fun All Weather Inner Playground Ten
Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing Congratulations. You have completed
the Installation Procedures for your Deep Fun All-Weather Inner Playground
Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire
Swing and
are now completely ready to explore all ten of the very personal
comfort
control buttons only available to owners of the Deep Fun All-Weather
Inner Playground
Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing.
Please activate your Tire
Swing. See if you can imagine yourself playing with each control
as it is described:
Control Button one: The Whim Activation System:
Whim-Activation is built in to every component of your Deep Fun
All-Weather Inner
Playground
Ten
Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing. The factory default setting for Whim-Activation is “slightest.” First-time
users experiencing any discomfort with the sensitivity of the
default setting may need to give themselves time to get used
to the system, but they can easily override
the Whim-Setting completely,
and directly affect any Deep Fun All-Weather Tire Swing capabilities
as indicated.
Control Button two: Changing location and placement:
all Deep Fun All-Weather Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swings
are delivered
pre-suspended. This is to maximize your Inner Swinging pleasure
by minimizing set-up time
entirely. If you do wish to change locations, you will quickly
discover that Your Deep
Fun All-Weather Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing Rope has all the physical properties you can imagine
necessary
for
installing it virtually anywhere.
Control Button three: Auto-Attach:
With built-in Auto-Attach, the Deep Fun All Weather Inner Playground
Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing
Rope
attaches itself immediately and securely to virtually any inner
object you can think
of:
corner of a building, telephone wire, the highest tree in a rain
forest, attached to a glass precipice hanging over the grand
canyon.
It just
as quickly detaches
and repositions itself as long as you could imagine it doing
so. The control button varies the nature of the attachment.
Control Button four:
On demand rope length: In a similar manner, Deep Fun All Weather
Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing
Rope-length
varies according to your specifications, the moment those specifications
are
made manifest.
Control Button five: Elasticity? The Deep Fun
All Weather Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing
rope responds
instantaneously
to any and all
ad-hoc elasticity specifications, from cast iron to bungee and
beyond.
Control Button six: Tire composition: Tire shape, size
and material are all completely and instantly variable. Like the
Deep Fun
All Weather Inner Playground
Ten Button
Breath-Activated Tire Swing rope, the Deep Fun All Weather Inner
Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing tire can change
elasticity and
width. It can
also change shape. Thus, it is surprisingly easy to re-imagine
your Deep
Fun All Weather Tire Swing tire into anything from a hammock
to a hot tub.
Control Button seven: Gravity Factors: The Gravity
Factors determining one’s
sense of personal ensconcement in the Deep Fun All-Weather Inner
Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing Tire are entirely
Whim Activated. It is impossible
to fall off or out of a Deep Fun All-Weather Inner Playground
Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing Tire regardless of your
imagined
position within it, unless you want
to.
Control Button eight: The Deep Fun All Weather Inner Playground
Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing Rope and Deep Fun All
Weather Inner
Playground
Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing are generally installed as a unit. Thus, the tire
is similarly preprogrammed to change shape and properties as
required
by the dictates
of any rope change,
and vice versa. The control button changes the balance between
the versa and the vice.
Control Button nine: Tire Auto-Positioning:
Which, in turn, explains why it is so easy to change the position
of the tire
on the rope
itself, from
vertical
to horizontal, as needed or imagined.
Once you have mastered the nuances and sensitivity of the
onboard Whim Activation System, you will find that the Deep
Fun All
Weather Inner
Playground Ten
Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing is as easy to play with
as it is to make it play
with you.
Control Button ten: With Auto-Positioning and Totally
Responsive Sensing both engaged, the tire changes from tractor
tire
to inflated tractor
tube, or swinging
donut-shaped cloud. By factory set connection between The
Deep Fun All Weather Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing
Rope
and The Deep
Fun All Weather Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated
Tire Swing Tire controls
allows one to shrink or expand the entire, as it were,
tire-swing-and rope-set, as well as everyone in the tire at the
time. Thus,
should you need for
any reason to completely and immediately transform both
size and position, you
could find
yourself, instantly, snugly swaying on a honeysuckle flower,
with a butterfly or two, hanging from a dew-bejeweled cobweb.
Phase one of the installation of your Deep Fun All-Weather
Inner Playground Ten Button Breath-Activated Tire Swing
and Sandbox
Kit has now reached
its logical
conclusion. |
