Flash and Flow; Iaido and Aikido
Iaido lets me work by myself, with myself.
Aikido lets me work with others, from myself.
Iaido teaches me flow, fluid strikes, purpose in direct action.
Aikido teaches me compassion, patience, generosity in collaboration.
In iaido my mind empties.
In aikido my heart fills.
In the flow, my form flourishes.
Special thanks to my incredible wife for her patience and her grace in building these images.
