A_mind_like_water Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Well, it has many meanings: It can be expressed as: "Forgetting mundane things When striving for the martial isle Paddling is joy" (World Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Federation - 1993 Inaugural Program Booklet.) It can also be expressed as: "With a single heart Devoting myself to nothing else It gives me bliss to pull on the oars For the Island of Karate-do" (The 3rd Shitoryu-Karatedo World Championships Program Booklet - August, 2000.) It could also be interpreted to mean: "When the spirit of Karate-Do (Bu) is deeply embraced It becomes the vehicle (described as a boat) in which one is ferried Across the great void to the 'world within' (described as 'bu'-island") (Kyoshi Patrick McCarthy, translation. Quotes and Historical Tid-Bits, 0/11/98.) "Clearing my mind of everything with devotion and joyful anticipation I row my boat toward the island of Bu" ("Shito-Ryu: The Island of Budo" Video, Kenzo Mabuni) ........you'r smart Danuall san- "Up you'res OLD man, wax your own DAM cars, im goin out ta get LAID" -Scott https://www.worldkarate.net
