Growing Edges
It has been a long time since I posted ... I am now a full time graduate student and prioritizing things has been a challenge. Not my training, but other things ... like my blog. Tonight's thoughts are inspired by a meme on Facebook ... It was in a dojo in 1983 ... hot, humid, no a/c in the summers, freezing cold in the winters, hardwood floors, no fans, no stopping for drinks, bow out and you leave ... it was in a dojo I learned to take myself to the floor and examine who I had been, who I was, and who I wanted to be ... it was in a dojo I learned to accept and embrace correction ... it was in a dojo that the truest part of myself began the arduous task of emergence. And I will do it again tomorrow night. It will be in a dojo ... I will face myself and grow.
