    stand in the storm's eye
    whirling, dancing in stillness -
    you cannot be harmed

    moving without thought
    let your opponent enter -
    Iriminage!

    if you understand, your shield
    becomes your sword.

    Wow very..wise and serene. It really made me at peace and made me think that the storm's eye could also extend to every day life where we whirl in the daily grime trying to get by. I loved the sense of invincibility in this piece.

    I was writing this in a martial arts context, but you're right: it can also extend to every day life. In fact my former instructor told us just that.

    It feels good to be writing again. I haven't done this in ages! I think I'll use this as my new sig when I tire of the one I currently have.

    Yeah man. That would make a nice self-penned signature.
    Peace,
