Otomo - A Journey Christopher Curtis

Acting as otomo in the Maui Shunshinkan Dojo, we learn how to serve others without seeking personal credit of any kind. We are providing the kind of service that is often done in such a way as to be completely unknown to others. This can only be born out of a state of mind that is very innocent and highly developed, both at once. This condition is one of those things that, even to know everything about it, is still not to know it at all. This direct and immediate state of mind is the subject of the story. What is it like to live without it, what is it like to live knowing everything about it but still not knowing it at all, and finally directly, tenderly, audaciously connecting with it?
