an Ode to my Teachers

Your martial technique impresses me less than the lives you have lived.

Martial proficiency is reflective of the journey, not a standard to worship.

Never compromise your stance,
but sometimes your stance is compromised.

Never fight force with force,
but sometimes you must use force.

On the path one must move forward.

Maybe one day there will be no path.
