It continues to amaze me the knowledge and skill of the fine people at our school. Every where I turn, anyone I ask, there just seems to be a higher level of awareness, a deeper understanding of life and a stronger connection with what is important in life in the individuals that make up our school.
Yesterday at the "purity and strength" seminar, Sifu Cosgrove talked about our posture and how it relates to basically everything we do. She got us to do a form while consciously correcting our lower back by "tucking" in our sacrum. I felt like a white belt. I was all over the map, foot placement went out the window, strikes where weak, I wobbled like a wet noodle. WOW. I had no idea I was that disconnected from my posture. Total eye opener. Thank you Sifu, another step on the path.
This just goes to show my point. The expertise of the instructors in our school goes so far beyond just Kung Fu. I bet if I where to sit down and talk to every instructor in our school, I would see a group of individuals that is changing their corner of the world by sheer force of will and attention to details. Awesome.
Gets me to asking myself, "self, what are you doing to be a positive force in this beautiful world?". Am I bettering my corner of this world, am I doing all I can to make a positive difference, is my footprint on history soft and unnoticeable or deep and lasting? We will see.
No number this week (but they are on track and rolling along), just thoughts.
