Life is full of puzzles, especially where human endeavours is involved.
In Karate, there are several Katas where you do not end up where you are supposed to. If every individual move is perfect, you end up to one side, or too far forward, or too far back. The problem is, you have to end where you started, but you must not cheat on any of the moves. It is a puzzle, but I can do it, and can teach it to others.
I love running when it’s hot, and I love running through the long shadows of early morning. Sadly, the two never seem to overlap. Summer evening runs should do the trick, but somehow running late for me isn’t as inspiring as running very, very early. A puzzle I’ve yet to solve.
Some puzzles have no solution.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
