House on Fire?
This may seem strange, but one thing I would grab ...
when leaving "my house on fire" is ...
this sweet little bag that holds something so dear to me ...
my first black belt, earned in November 1979,
seven years after starting,
proof that truly anyone can get there in time.
seven years after starting,
proof that truly anyone can get there in time.
It was worn near daily for years & years,
and was retired to this special bag ...
when it was too frail to go on.
Demura Sensei said, if I "were stronger
it would have broken a long time ago."
Our Sensei is so wise & patient.
I have been asked why
I roll my belt
in between wearing?
It's just a personal choice, intended
to represent my training to continue
on & on, rather than linear, back & forth.
It seems to have worked for me,
50+ years and counting.

Jacki, that's a good idea to think about what to take with me if the house is on fire.Of course I'd grab my computer but I think there should be also a very personal thing. Yours is the sweet little bag with your black belt. And mine? ......I don't know yet.
Hopefully, you will never have to decide. But the question was asked once, and I had to think. Have a wonderful weekend, dear Elenor.
