Humility
During a break in morning practice:
“What’s your name?” I asked my practice partner.
“Hino.” He said.
“I’m Yeoh.”
“Pleased to meet you.”
“Pleased to meet you.”
He smiled, and said. “Shall we?”
I was later reflecting on my morning practice with a fellow dojo member. “I practiced this morning with someone who didn’t grab or pull at all. I learned a lot.”
He looked at me incredulously. “That was Hino-sensei.”
Oh. “I knew something was different.”
