| I would be delighted to be friends. Bear in mind it took me sixty years to accomplish all that. Time was my friend in this. Though I am not currently practicing, aikido has been one of the most important influences in my life. It has been central to my journey. I am not practicing because the very excellent teacher relatively near me is at the end of a long traffic filled drive. I think I am getting up my nerve to face that drive, eventually. I appreciate the invitation and look forward to getting to know you. About a year ago, I went to a workshop the teacher gave and was very impressed with her attitude and her teaching.
