Sick with an ordinary cold Nothing to do but wait it out And feel sorry for myself For missing class Instead I settle in with videos Random classes decades ago Years before even my teacher First heard of Aikido Awkward, white-belted beginners Fresh-faced, eager, nameless ukes Who have these people become? Teachers? Writers? Leaders? Do I know them? Are they the ones showing the way now? Do I go to their seminars? Read their books? I think of our time, my fellow students, Even the awkward, nameless ones Who will we have become When people look back on us?

Thank you, Carina and Diana. I keep the idea in mind with each new person who walks in the door. Who might they turn out to be, someday? :-) And ourselves, too.

you give a beautiful perspective, I agree with Carina. Thanks, I really appreciate it. It would be good to put up on dojo bulletin boards, and at home to remember about each day's training and in daily life too. There are also "videos" stored in our own memories... Your poem is definitely worth thinking about often.
