Just getting a little practice in before tomorrow night's show. I sure hope things cooperate here. And I love the 1.4x converter on the 70-200.

Because of recently sustained injuries and various other transitions this bodily shell I reside in has been going through, I had a moment of pause as I got dressed for aikido last evening. I thought to myself, what would I do if I had to terminate my practice? The idea was practically unthinkable...I started to cry at the thought. In that moment, I realized just how much this practice means to me. It's not just something I go to do two or four times a week...a number of hours. This is something that has become integral to my being and how I see the world and how I shape my life.
When I got to the dojo, I spoke of my trepidations to sensei. Before I even mentioned the idea that I might have to stop BECAUSE of my issues...he had listened to all my "complaints" and said, "It's a good thing you have your practice." He told me that he never understood why people stopped practice because of physical issues, as the practice can be done by anyone in any physical condition. It's about becoming aware and working within one's own "sphere." I was so grateful for these words of support and encouragement. And while I still had my minor limitations on the mat...it was a very, very good practice session...
