We are pattern machines. Cartridges can be slotted in and out.
Deliberation allows you change to one cartridge at a time in your own time.
But life is eight-track. It comes at you in ways that invite automatic, or hopefully semi-automatic, response.
Automatic is expert or incompetent. Beautifully in-control and totally out of it. Master or knee-jerk.
Semi-automatic is more measured, quick but steady.
When you are switching multiple cartridges for the first time, keep it ordered, keep your eye on the ball, put your weight on your lower ski.
Breathe.
Think.
And keep your powder dry.
