Becoming a Master, part 3

In the end, when you feel that your blade has no secrets from you, you will be able to take a look back and see the long, arduous journey you have just completed. And you will see its worth; you will revel in your own uniqueness. And, I hope, you will want to share this with another adept, someone just like you are now. And, when you become a teacher, you will see that what I have said is true: your own training is not over. For all we can do is strive for perfection – and the fact that we shall never achieve it is both our blessing and our curse.
