lifetime practice + tools for growth

On my way to work, a thought hit me like a gong. Bang!
I realized that my analogy of the zen garden was a bit unclear.

I wanted to note that I don't have -all- the tools to "build a garden." I think tools for growth point to a lifetime pursuit. On a life path to growth, I don't I could ever say "I've made it" or "I'm done."

But I wanted to see myself going through a growth phrase visually - hence analogy - to remember it better for myself. it's not for everyone.

Some of this zen craziness has led me to focus more on the following
points from the senseis:

1. breathe
2. don't stop
3. get out of the way
4. take center + off balance + stay low
5. lock em up
