A little more spirit please

There's a little bit missing - a little bit of spirit. My interests in Aikido have always also coincided with an interest in the more spiritual and philosophical aspects of the art. I haven't found a great deal of emphasis on it, but I suppose i'm fortunate that it is something that I can pursue through independent study; at least to a certain extent.

The body is the tool, but without the correct understanding of the spirit - the tool is but a simple tool, crude and ineffective without proper direction.
