True Strength
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2003 10:20 am
Often we equate strength with the size of someone's muscles, and sometimes mixing that up with the strength of character. Happens a lot when folks are caught up in just the "physical" side of the art.
What happens when the physical strength gets lost? Can one go on without an attribute that so defined one's image to the world. It is here that the strength of one's character/spirit gets tested. I dare say it is much easier to deal with conflicts (even with deadly potential) because these happen quickly, one deals and goes on one way or another. But can we deal with a conflict that is slow, progressive and ongoing... one in which we see no 'victory" in the physical sense? Think about it.
I offer a bow to a friend and wish him well. Your grace is inspiring.
