My sensei, I don't want to be complete. I truly appreciate you saying that I am. But there is too much good work left to be done.

I have a lot of nourishment to give. I give it out because I want to receive nourishment. I want my spiritual roots to grow deep and strong. I want my partner's spiritual roots to grow deep and strong.

That growth, that learning, that exploring, never ends.

It expands like the roots of a mighty oak. It expands like the universe.

Namaste
