秋の風は気持ちいい。空はうろこ雲ででこぼこのコブのようだし、その数日後には雨っぽい予報になるのを繰り返し、気がつけば冬になる。すぐに暖を取りたい季節になる。季節を風流に楽しむことができる歌人たちは今を感じ、その今を切り取る名人だということだ。心に余裕のある行動だと思う。

心の余裕という言葉は、合気道にはとても大切な言葉だ。相手の近くに入身した時に、体勢が崩れるような姿勢で入っても意味がない。相手を捌くような間合いに入身した時も同じだ。いつも次への姿勢の取れる中心に重心のある移動を心がける必要がある。しかしそれは心に余裕がないとダメなんだ。いつも師範に言われる、６０％で行う、その６０％を広げる意識で成長する、その意味がよく解る。
The autumn wind feels refreshing. The sky is filled with scales of cloud, like uneven bumps, and after a few days it turns into forecasts of rain. Repeating this cycle, before we realize it, winter arrives, and soon it will be the season when we instinctively seek warmth. The poets of old who enjoyed the elegance of the seasons were true masters at capturing the moment as it was. I believe such appreciation comes from having space in the heart.

Having “room in the heart” is essential in aikidō. Entering (irimi) with poor posture that breaks your balance is meaningless. The same is true when stepping into ma-ai in order to deal with your partner. We must always move with our center stable and weight balanced, ready for the next posture. But this is only possible when the heart has space. I now better understand what the sensei always says: practice at sixty percent, and gradually expand that sixty percent as you grow.
