stone path

Kyudo is a path - "The Way of the Bow"
On the path, each step is important
Because the next one emerges from the last.
These stones are from the yatori michi
(arrow retrieval
path) at
Bi Toku Kyudo Kai.
Each one is beautiful.
Each one is unique.
Each one is insignificant.
Yet together, they form a beautiful path.
Each stone is like each step on your path in Kyudo.
They are also like you - unique, beautiful
and yet each one is a part of a far greater picture.
Wherever you are, each step on the path is to be fully realized.
Step forth on the path with
honesty, humility and beauty and you will travel far.
