Onegaishimasu. Just like finding the 'safe place' when uke attacks, we also need to find the safe place when unexpected events in life come upon us. The sidelines is not a bad place, it is a place to practice observation practice. You may find it very helpful to talk to Donovan Waite sensei about this without actually doing physical practice. Good luck with everything.

In gassho,

You're right. Part of not wanting to be on the sidelines is that I want hands on training, and part of it is ego. I should focus on learning, and remaining intact to train again another day.
