It is too rare that we speak about love. Too rare that we truly recognize that this is the most important thing that we have in our lives, that it is more important than all the things that we do, and say, and think. The theme of the weekend, among the many themes one may have taken away, was that technique is only a vehicle. We must look beyond it, and practice beyond it to get to what is of real importance. Our bodies will leave us, but if we share ourselves fully with others, we may live forever. Anyone who has truly loved, never dies.
I am very grateful to this group of people. And I was grateful to have been able to test with all the people in my group, including three others testing for 1st Dan from the Madison club. For some reason, I can't get my pictures to connect, but will share them once I do. In the meantime, here is a picture of our dirty feet, after the test.
