Flow.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

Practice is what gets you to your aims. Unless you practice aimlessly.

What's the good Go you're practicing towards?

Doesn't matter. If all you do is study and never play...?
Stones on the board. That is automatically a "better" Go then not playing.
Learn by doing. No plan survives its encounter with the enemy. and so on...

Once I had the great opportunity to watch a 9d friend play a few 3d and 4d players on a RL board, and I had NO words. Not even one.

I just went … :-o

If I had to verbalize that, it would be “wow”.
