Hi Mary,
I cannot argue with your letter.
But I do rail against it..in practice, in life.
fwiw: i have found the healing aspects triggered by the aiki training as I've been exposed to it to take things to a whole other level.
The body itself knew how to grow...and I think if given favorable conditions; it knows how to heal itself.
And sometimes humpty dumpty is broken into a million pieces.
and it's sad.

but i have not yet faced this kind of damage (or maybe I have and I am in denial)...and am finding a new 'way' of training that seems to be boot strapping the body.
Ever seen the picture of Baron Munchausen picking himself up out of a swamp by lifting himself up by his own ponytail?
Aiki in my humble opinion so far is partially such a 'restorative' kind of force... a kind of pressure. (?) . What do I know.

But i have been brought to my knees and to tears by pain. I mentioned this before.
At some point, yes, we are all men... born to die. Better get on with the living. Good point.
