SHACK 121 TARGET

TO BE SURE OF HITTING 

THE TARGET

FIRE YOUR ARROW

AND WHEREVER  IT LANDS 

THAT IS YOUR TARGET

TO BE SURE OF HITTING 
THE TARGET

WHEREVER THE ARROW LANDS
DRAW A CIRCLE AROUND IT

THE ARROW WILL ALWAYS BE CENTER

Sometimes we are too intense of hitting the target and it can be the end and be all even to obsession.  Then the kyudo(Japanese Archery) can assist.  

The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede. What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen.

Eugen Herrigel

I did not learn Kyudo however in Aikido, Kendo and Judo, Kungfu, Taichi, Qi Gong and Meditation, there comes a moment when 'the will' lets go and the DO-the way, The Tao takes over.

What is it that takes over and is the Way?
