On the riverbank they run up and down.

But the wise person, following the way,
Crosses over, beyond the reach of death…”

“One does not need buildings, money, power or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.” – Ueshiba, The Art of Peace
