明日も仕事だ。何のために仕事をしているのか。そう自分に問いながら、答えが出ないことなんてわかっているのに考えてしまう。そうしてまた朝をむかえる。

Tomorrow is another workday.
Sometimes I find myself wondering why I work at all. I ask the question even though I already know there may never be a clear answer. Still, I think about it. And then, before I know it, morning arrives once again.
Play Practice
- Exercises
- Ikkyo Stretch
Main Practice
- Aiki exercises
- Footwork

Yet when I come to the dojo, my mind settles.
I practice Aikido.
What is Aikido? There may not be a final answer to that question either.
And that is perfectly fine.
Some things do not need to be completely understood. They only need to be practiced, experienced, and lived. So I step onto the mat, breathe, move, and train with others. For a little while, the questions become less important than the practice itself.
Perhaps that is enough.
