Word of Wisdom

A copy of a recent email from Furuya Sensei, the head instructor of a BIG BIG Aikido dojo in California, for your mental enjoyment. (There's also a Yahoo group you can join, if interested - he is the moderator)

Some people do not listen. Some listen but do not hear. Some hear but do not
understand. Some understand, but do not pay attention. Some people pay attention, but
do not remember. Some people remember but do not apply what they know.

Please take a moment to think about what is "true" listening. . . It is very important in your
practice.
