The Martial Arts

Two weeks without training at the dojo.
When I'm finally able to attend a class,
I see it clearly, again...

No matter how I think about the Art
In every moment of my days, or
In every movement I'm doing...
Or how the technique is clear on my mind.

In the first moment I hit the mat
And when I have to move smoothly
Towards my enemy, who is a friend - of course,
I notice that my body has once again
Forgotten  everything.

And reality tells me that, to succeed,
I will need more than one class per week.
I need more than the thought, too.
I need the Spirit, the strength,
To do more than I think is enough.

And that's real. The need to keep going!
