Henry kono as a young man henry studied with the founder of aikido constantly asking himself the question "What is o'sensei looking at"?
He laughed when he noticed the answer.

freedom is when you have no choice
you simply move as you must without thought or decision
  

traditionally the hara or center is said to be two inches below the belly button
this is a misunderstanding
the center is wherever the attention is placed
everything the entire universe revolves and arises from this true center  

attention is the natural result of the idea of a self falling away
attention happens spontaneously and easily

wherever you place your attention
leave it there and do not let it wander
the rest will follow naturally  

time and space disappear in the movement
there is no doer only the movement  

when you are attacked
get out of the way

now in his eighties henry still teaches the occasional class in ireland and canada
