With no reliance on words or letters,
A direct pointing to the human mind,
And the realization of enlightenment..."

The beginning of this vision
Starts with the ending
Conclusion
Out Breath
KIAI!!!
Only to be entering,
The gestated seed form of vision.
Plump, ready to burst
Inspiration
Of a new technique
The large Circle coming
Out of the seed form
Represents;
Leadership in the community
And influence without.
As the spiral tightens,
Into smaller circles
This represents,
The deeper teachings
To the select few.
Triangle, Circle, Square
The spiral ends into the seed form
Of Vision
At the end is the beginning
Of
New
Technique!!!
