Thought for the Week (February 5th, 2001)
Sensei Michael Mackay
Midtown Karate Dojo- New York City

"Winter Training"
Patient winter sun
shines through sweat-streaked ice daggers
growing drip by drip.
Hints for the poetically impaired:
"Sun" - sensei and shinden
"ice daggers" (icicles) - deshi
"drip" - a single repetition of kata
Best of luck to all testing, and to those with the greater task of lending support.
Arigato Gozaimasu,
Michael Mackay, Yon-Dan,
