[Tango-A] [TangoAL] Tango ... and who we grow to become ...

[Duende de Tango]

>From my experience the Tango is many things to 
many people. This is just one similarity from my 
backgrowd in the martial arts over forty-five 
years. Some of the words below (for me) seem to 
apply to Tango and many other activities of 
people trying to do their best.


A man or woman of Karate

I man of karate stands as an oak
Moves as the bamboo and tall grasses
Is courtesy, humble, alert and patient.

A man of karate stands with the wind
Shines as the sun
Gives all of themselves to all

A man of karate stands to respond
with great compassion,
without anger, jealousy, greed.

A man of karate is not born
They are grown by careful steps of their teacher
And their experiences reflect their peaceful thoughts.

A man of karate does not have fear
For he/she considers all life dear
They are the roots of their students.

Their roots grow deep
As their profound heart, mind and soul
Takes their peaceful position within

A man of karate is not a goal
He/she is a path toward such perfection
A gift for all of us to behold.
