Going for a Walk in the World
The Experience of Aikido
By Ralph Pettman
This calligraphy was done by Shuken Motomiya, an old and much venerated Zen monk. When he did it, he lived in a temple at Fujinomiya, at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The character means “Dream”. A lovely piece of calligraphy that was brushed especially for this book
The dream that makes us free
is the dream of an open heart
the dream that there might be
one world
lived together while living apart.
