But I think O Sensei's words are special in the fact that they address the "suchness" that Aikido is about. Maybe there's a cultural divide.
This is a quote from a Basketball player which I feel drives at the point of spirituality and "suchness". I feel it is a homemade wisdom that comes close to O Sensei's teachings.
''The one certainty is that a man can never be certain of what he thinks.
He can only strive and learn and fight against the frustrations of his life, and continue that struggle to the point that he develops a philosophy.
A man who asks for a philosophy will never have one.
My philosophy is only the result of what has happened in this life.''
-Bill Russell, Hall of Fame Boston Celtic Basketball player circa 1966
