this confidence is called ver llegar in the ring. it means 'to watch them come.' it is the ability to plant your feet exactly so -- to hold your ground and see calmly, as in slow motion, the charge of the bull, knowing that you have what it takes to maneuver the bull safely by. this is dynamic stablility. standing still is one of the steps in dancing, as moments of silence are part of music. confidence lies in stillness. it is the confidence that comes from many passes and many fights -- you can control and defeat it because you have done it before.
Robert Fulghum, Maybe, Maybe Not
