Sensei walks past me, catches my eye, and discreetly waves his hand, lowly. It gently says, "I see you are working hard, but I also see that you are suffering. Take a break."
I refocus: it is more important to succeed overall than to complete this one task.
Karate is the break I take from life itself, which is currently a circus of horrors. It won't always be this way, and I have to believe that because it has not always been this way. Despite the worst, or because of it, am still surrounded by many wonderful people, which says a lot about both their and my character.
