I'm still recovering from my injury, but I'm mostly mobile now and I can take all but the deepest breaths without much pain. And you know the old joke about how it only hurts when I laugh? Well, if I'm very careful, I can let out a little chuckle... :-)I can't tell you all how much all of your get well wishes meant to me. I received so many emails and notes that I couldn't respond to them all individually, but I read every one and was deeply moved. Some of you sent me poems. Others told me of your own injuries and recovery. A few suggested I switch to the gentler arts of yoga or tai chi, some even questioning how I can reconcile the martial arts with the spiritual path (one person's quip: "less martial, more arty"). ... Material for a future blog post, perhaps.I'm glad to be back with all of you, sharing another poem...Have a beautiful full moon day!Ivan Share Your Thoughts on today's poem or my commentary...
