Question? (Light hearted).
It is said, Aikido like so many other things in life (knowledge etc) is an ever expanding circle.
1). Is there a start or finish point?
2). Do we set them ourselves?
3). As we progress do we carry the start point (basics) on with us - leave them where they started (long way back - sometimes hard to return to).
4). Do we catch up with the start point (basics) - are we chasing the start point? Its a circle after all.
Lot of people say keep going back to the beginning? Has it changed when you get there? Can you get to the start by going forwards - will it be different when you get there? Etc etc etc.
Are we going round in circles???
