Karate and flower arranging

just posting this because I like it:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>

All formal ways,
including martial arts,
calligraphy,
and flower arrangement,
seem at first glance to be
ways of getting things done.
They really are ways beyond
just getting things done.
In all formal ways, you are
given a task to do and then
asked to go beyond thought
to become the action itself.

I like the training of bonsai rather than the flowers, myself. But I agree with the thought.

Flowers in the dojo, especially arranged strategically and singly, makes for good kicking targets.
