Watching
the news this morning and hurricane Matthew is starting to slam Florida. I
don’t wish to be insensitive, but note everything today becomes a media event
for coverage. While appropriate for the affected areas, is it really as an
event for the rest of us.
Perhaps
some gentle humor would be appropriate.
Think
when we tell the youngsters how we had to walk through blizzards and miles of
snow when we went to school.
Was
the Okinawan equivalent, “Why when I was young we would stand on the rooftops
during Typhoons and perform Seiunchin kata, in the wind and the rain.”
One
has to wonder.
Victor Donald Smith I
have lost count of the times I showed up for class in hurricanes, blizzards and
storms just in case anyone showed up for class, They never did because they
were too smart to do that! One night at midnight Charles called me over to his
Church to train. So I went. Afterwards when I went out, there was 3foot of snow
on my car. I did travel through ice storms in the Poconos to go to training, I
guess we were karate-ka in those days, or just crazy.
Been a while since I have talked about this but it
is worth doing.
