Cracking the Skies


Today was an interesting practice. About ten minutes before the end, at just about the time when I was finishing my match with Sugaya Sensei, the whole sky cracked open with thunder and lightening. Talk about movie style theatrics!
The whole sky was purple with lightening as we headed toward the train station. Lightning makes me very nervous because of how unpredictable it is. Hastily walking through the streets of southern Kyoto with a shinai strapped to my back directly under a thunder storm didn't exactly make me feel seven kinds of safe and comfortable. In general though, I like thunder storms, and thunderstorms in the middle of keiko add a bit of drama to the activity that’s quite exciting.
