Why do you draw a purple potta dots shirt, yellow belt and a yellow potta dots dress ???....Maybe progress, is constant action with stillness :)...

on my computer the skirt is green...i wish it came across that way on yours.

what is progress? i like your definition of it.

when i studied aikido, i was told that there is activity within stillness.

and so it makes sense that within activity there is stillness....

Ya green...sorry...couldn't remember clearly, had a glance of your pic and directly went to answer the question...What is aikido ??

colors do show up differently on different monitors...

aikido is a martial art. one day we were paracticing being balanced while standing still and the teacher pointed out that we could also notice the motion that was still a part of the stillness.

i wonder if at least sometimes it is easier to notice the activity, the motion when we are still...

i wonder also if when we feel very busy if that is because, at least in part, that we are not noticing the stillness....
