“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
A reminder of mindfulness. It's in every step.

Peace is every step
On the shelf, right above the front desk at the dojo, we present gifts we received throughout the years. One of them is a straw hat. "Peace is every step" reads the calligraphy on it. It was written by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen master.
“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
A reminder of mindfulness. It's in every step.

Seminar with Doshu
This weekend we had the honor to participate in a seminar with Aikido Doshu, Ueshiba Moriteru. The seminar was hosted by Aikido UnEnKai, chaired by I. Shibata Shihan, at Berkeley Aikikai.
It felt like a one in a lifetime opportunity, training in a smaller setting that the usual gymnasiums Doshu has been teaching in, with hundreds of participants.
In this photo, taken at the reception, after classes, are some of North Valley Aikikai members, my daughter, Aria, and myself.
