ANKF “Seminar of the Americas” 2009… Kyudo/Budo

The 2009 Kyudo Seminar of the Americas is still winding down as we tie up the loose ends of packing away the maku, shipping the yumi home, returning the rental vans and items inadvertently left behind, and nursing our tired, worn and broken bodies. Even with this ending, parts of it will live on in our minds and hearts. It is what we choose to do with this experience that matters now.
The fact that we showed up, we stood our ground and gave our best tells us that we are winners. We left with much more than we came with. We gained knowledge of ourselves as well as the art of Kyudo. We renewed old friendships and created bonds with new ones, as well as with the sensei. We have an idea of the areas in our practice and ourselves that needs attention.
Did we achieve the rank we tested for? Some did, others didn’t, but this is not the core of the matter. Pass or fail, the end result is the same… we live to shoot another day.
Let go of what you need to and nurture the rest.
The Time is Now!
The way is in the training!
Japan 2010!
