Dear Two Rock Dojo

Collectively the dojo has shown me that having grace and poise signifies presence and depth. My training with everyone has been open, honest, and exploratory- and engaged journey seeking connection to one another, the self, and the mystery. Although leaving causes me great sadness, I know that the lessons of the last year and a half are imprinted within my cells. Two rock dojo is a special place that radiates the passion and energy of it's dynamic community. I hope to continue upon the path represented by aiki principles, to continue polishing my stone, and remembering to remind myself that "true victory is self victory." I'm excited to train with you again in the future; thanks for all the wonderful moments to build upon!

I am with full heart and gratitude for the experience of training with you: the honest, intimate exchange of movement, impulse, ki, blend, spunk, learning. exchanging, playing, practicing...
thank you for your blog, bringing some of the magic of the mat to the digital screen, finding words to tease out threads from the richness of the aikido journey.
I feel as if the dojo cannot say goodbye to you, because you feel such a part of us, and I feel the hope that you will weave in and out of our presence again and again as you pursue adventures of life.
With sincere wishes that your journey be full of blessings!
