Marc's Reflection on Aikido & True Play

Care is nonviolent.

Care for violence
Nonviolently

Especially toward myself
Especially in my inner voice

The only asset
is
care

Respect
Care
Sense
Be one with
(Curiosity)

Not at arms length
Not to dispose of
Nor to move beyond
(Analysis)

Turn toward stuckness
Absorb the sensation
Become familiar
Hold that sensation in my arms gently
Care for it
Feel my connection with the earth
Breath
Relax
Holding this baby gently in my arms, in my heart
Wish it no harm
Find gratitude for stuckness
Now hold hands with your friend stuckness
Now walk together
Now breath together
Now move together, brothers, center and center
One
