For Clarity…

My Lady just pointed something out to me. My posts have had quite a bit of martial arts related content, lately.
- There are several reasons for this. My training regimen has been on my mind lately, so that is going to come out a bit (or maybe a lot) in my writing.
- Martial arts strike me as a natural companion to meditation. Much self learning has to take place on any serious journey into the martial arts. A practitioner has to learn to be aware of new things, and to accept new methods of movement.
- In addition, martial arts are the realm where I have spent the most time performing drills. Any skill development requires drills. If I were a musician, that would likely be my dominant metaphor. Though the content differs, the structure is the same whether you are practicing self defense drills, musical scales, or seated meditation.
I bring this up to offer a bit of clarity with my metaphors. Everything on this site is a meditation. Everything on this site is a learning tool. Even if all you learn is “this is a bunch of crap!”… hopefully you still recognize that you are learning… of course it is my sincerest hope that you take the time to look a little deeper… because you can choose to realize the value of what I teach, and you don’t have to realize it… you can begin to recognize the potential for transformation throughout this site, but you don’t have to.
The potential is here, and the potential is everywhere!
What if you were to take that into the rest of your life?
keep smiling,
