Karate: On the Beach, 1981-1995

Hear the water as it laps the shore,
the birds,
the engine of a boat.

Feel the sand,
its texture,
its dampness and warmth.

Feel the breeze move your hair,
where it touches your cheek.

Feel the sun on your face,
its warmth and direction.

Open your senses to all that is around you.
