Pyramid

    Training as a pyramid. The larger the base the higher the peak. The more we train, the more we practice the bigger our base becomes.

    Is our base limitless? Does it stop growing as the we start adding the layers above? I don't believe so. It will never stop growing or changing. We are given a large base on which to stand as we receive our yellow belts. After that, we have to fill the cracks with thoughtful practice and repetition while still learning more. As each crack slowly fills it pushes the base out a tiny bit further and as we discover how our body reacts to this practice we see it again fill a crack that appeared to be already full pushing the base a little further. It has a ripple effect filling other small fractures higher up the pyramid thus making the whole pyramid even larger and stronger. Our bases to me are now seeming endless, as long as we continue with mindful practice.

Any other thoughts?
