Musings of the misguided?

It builds and builds and then it busts out and just takes on a life of its own and we all just want to share.

The more I read the more I feel compelled to post. Then I read some more and begin to feel unsettled. Now I just don't think I should post all! There are so many seriously experienced and knowledgable folks here that it seems rude to consider posting.

The more I train the more I realize I have very little understanding of what I'm striving after. What I knew and did last year seems confused now. Two years ago I was just wrong. More than two years ago I'm embarassed that I was even seen in public doing that stuff - much less posting about it!

For me this last year has proven that shodan really is just the beginning. I've barely scratched the surface ... just finding the extent of the surface is tough much less the volume bounded by the surface (keep your fractal commentary to yourself).

Miles to go before I sleep.

Life is a learning experience. If we are wise, we will learn from each day. If we share nothing, post nothing, speak nothing, UNTIL we reach our destination we risk forgetting the lesson of each step along our journey. People are much more in need of a kindred soul on a lost path than they are in need of silence until you get to where you are going.

Hi Rob. As we grow, at any level, many things we used to "know" are revealed to have been "wrong." But there's a difference between sharing your own experience, and attempting to state The Truth. My experience is that practicing Aikido leads to an ongoing stream of discoveries about myself. I'd love to hear more about your experiences, lessons, struggles, etc. There's nothing presumptive about writing that stuff, and you can't be wrong about it.
