Facets of a Diamond - Blog

No martial arts warrior has ever been as skilled in self-defense as the sufferer who does not dare to look inside.

He defends with wondrous, instantaneous, almost reflexive katas, deflecting every attempt to help. He misprocesses them all as attacks – and then, lightning-fast, he counterattacks.

And all to guard against the Truth – that he is good, that he is Perfection.

When he knows this, his kung fu becomes, instead, a dance of Love.
