This year was crazy!
Getting officially married to Suzuki after 17 some years is for one. The ups and downs we shared as family and building , protetcing Kyokushin was always our singular focus.
It was especially challenging when people who have no idea what is going on spread their opinion as if it is truth or blatantly lies about us.
But this also showed us that their take on other's are just as prone to delusional and flailing opinion... Lol.
So I learned to let it slide by. It was also great because it gave people the chance to once again speak to us in person.
It also taught us a great lesson. This whole process gave us the chance to know who we truly are and how we are utterly dedicated to Sosai 's Kyokushin, whether it is by our own choice or not.
I feel time is changing now in Kyokushin. The whole atmosphere is moving towards some form of "conformity". Being fake can only get people so far when something more deep, solid and truthful starts to arise.
Not all is receptive to this change understandably, as this may not serve their own goal. But taking a step back and re-examining how the work is shifting, I think Sosai is directing it in the way he sees fit.
When things fall apart, there is only but one way- to go back up again, stemming from the same foundation.
I don't know why but I just feel it in the air.
