Hello, friends. I’ve a little song to share with you today — a piece of wisdom from my martial-arts tradition. This is something every martial artist knows about what to do when you’re falling.

P.S. If you have another minute, I have a short essay you might enjoy reading as well. It’s a guest post, as a “Monk in the World,” over at Abbey of the Arts. It’s about karatedo as a spiritual practice. I really like the virtual community there. (Except that they don’t have much of our humorous, skeptical side — but you can always come here for that!)
Adam – Thanks for your message. It reminds me of Cheri Huber’s (zen) book of the same name: http://www.amazon.com/When-Youre-Falling-Dive-Possibility/dp/097103091X/ . A simple message and a helpful one as I find myself resisting the latest changes in my life that Spirit keeps sending my way. Of course, what I always argue with Spirit is “why all this diving when I haven’t even learned to swim?”
