30 December 2022 - Shu-Ha-Ri
The beginning of 2023 is near sweetheart. So too, the end of 2022.
Something ends, something begins.
So it is with life stages too sweetheart.
Every master, begins as a student.
I learnt today, from a colleague named Gary, that in Aikido, there is a concept known as Shu-Ha-Ri. There are three stages. Shu - follow the rules. Ha - break the rules. Ri - make the rules
In Shu: We repeat the forms and discipline ourselves so that our bodies absorb the forms that our forebears created. We remain faithful to these norms with no deviation.
In Ha: Once we have disciplined ourselves to acquire the forms and movements, we make innovations. In this process the forms may be broken or discarded.
In Ri: We completely depart from the norms, open the door to creative technique, and arrive in a place where we act in accordance with what our heart and mind desires, unhindered while not overstepping laws.
Reading.
Then reading with a nibble.
Then using the reading material for a fully blown meal.
You seem to be already picking up the concept, with a real life example!
