I'd like to share this thoughtful article in Being, Essence & Motion by Ron Ragusa

http://ron-aikidothoughts.blogspot.c...rty-eight.html

I shared it in E-budo Facebook but as always, it immediately got aside, so I will share it here, where people can enjoy it, and what I most like of that blog is that you get a reply of your comments, just like I do myself, I reply to all my commentators, so sometimes we get to a small but interesting conversation. And that is important for a forum or blog, otherwise it stops, and conversation, ideas exchange must flow.
Just as in Aikido, uke attacks with shomenuchi and Nage answers with whatever technique he choses and both do an Aiki conversation, but if uke attacks and nage gives him the back, there is no technique or conversation.
Sorry but I were just telling you my thoughts about my comments and then waiting for feedback, but it never comes, like if I say Good morning and there is no answer
