Aikido to me is a path. Where the path will take me, will in time be revealed.
From the reports of those who walked it before me, I know the path will be challenging. Sometimes it goes uphill, sometimes downhill. Sometimes it's wide and smooth, sometimes rocky and narrow. Sometimes you walk it in the light of a summer day, sometimes struggle uncertainly in the darkness and cold. But forward, always forward.
The faces of those who walked it are beautiful and calm.
So whatever it is, I want it. Wherever it may take me, I will follow.
(Okay, I
did not suspect myself of such poetic inclinations...
