So it was hoped that repairs would start today, but it seems the landlords contractor had a funeral to attend. I am promised that work will start Tuesday AM bright and early. My fingers remain crossed.
I am working with a nearby location to allow us training space for the duration of our repairs. Again fingers thoroughly crossed.
Let me tell you, seeing the dojo in such disarray, empty and gutted, devoid of the life that you bring is a dreadful feeling. That's what I was doing this afternoon feeling dread working from my desk at the dojo, when I noticed a reflection on the wall from our window lettering. It was faint in the late afternoon light, but readable. Seeing Kenshokan on the wall filled me with a renewed determination. I will use this time to finish all those beautification projects I have had in mind, get a good paint job on the wall and finish the boards.
I was able to take some mats and train at Warner park this evening, it was a little cold, but like the expression says, "Jikishin kore dôjô" which is explained as, "If you have a pure, honest and flexible mind, everywhere is a Dôjô"
I will keep everyone appraised of our progress.
