[Ed Jewett]

And you to yours.

"True Budo is to accept the spirit of the universe, keep the peace of the world, correctly produce, protect and cultivate all beings in nature."

Unfuck you.

Thank you, Charles. The previously-quoted-and-cited Walter J. Freeman III (not the II who was enamored of lobotomies) said:

[size=12]The male or female who solipsistically departs the morning after remains untouched by the night before. The deepest meaning of sexual experience lies not in pleasure, or even in reproduction, but in the opportunity it affords to surmount the solipsistic gulf, opening the door, so to speak, whether or not one undertakes to work to go through. It is the afterplay, not the foreplay, that counts in building trust.[/SIZE]

Perhaps now, especially after I assure you that I have many CD's from Miles and recognize several of his tunes and one of his albums as existing at the pinnacle of jazz, we could roll over and have a cigarette.

But you don't smoke, and neither do I. Maybe the afterplay between you and I can help close the obvious solipsistic gulfs in one little corner of the world.

Ueshiba, to whom I have offered many a blog entry (see this most recent one: http://summonthemagic.blogspot.com/2012/...table.html ), is revered by many. There's a T-shirt one could buy ( http://www.aikistore.dreamhosters.com/ai...ucts_id=20 ) that suggests practice of his art of harmony is a way to reconcile the world. I will soon purchase DVD's on takemasu aiki and misogi. I was given a shillelagh for my birthday, and already possess a 66" long walking stick made of Greylock rock maple, dried, cured, polished, and shellacked.

I understand the art of aikido as one in which the proper response in any moment is to do the right thing to prevent harm to one's self or others while doing minimal harm to the opponent and attempting to bring him or her to a point of recognition of the futility of aggression as a way.
