foreword writer
"I remember clear as yesterday the first time I met Richard. It was the mid-1990s, and I was teaching conflict resolution at Harvard Law School. We were both part of the staff working on a weeklong mediation project in Cyprus. When he walked in around midnight, he was smiling and calm, and had a mischievous gleam in his eye. Sensing the room's energy, he made a remark along the lines of, 'If you look to the totality, what's wrong points to what's right. Envision what tomorrow would be if it were great.' Then with a laugh, he added, 'Of course, I could be wrong. Anything can happen.'
My spirits lifted. Our new arrival was not just confident, he was also funny. He knew how to change the mood in a room with a single observation or question. Whatever surprises were in store for us over the next week, Richard, through the harmonious power of Aikido, would know what to say and do.
Richard is not a wizard. He's a person like you and me. His power to move people beyond themselves is not based on some supernatural enlightenment but resides in his very humanness—his studious intelligence, his compassion, his insight. He sees the world differently from most people, and yet he is able to see each of us just as we want to be seen."

"Richard Moon Sensei is a leader who has contributed greatly to the world of Aikido for many years. I believe this book will open a new door."
William Isaacs
Author of Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together
"This is an extraordinary treasure of a book. Very few works even attempt—let alone achieve—what this one does: it gives you the felt experience of sitting with a master, guiding you to discover new realms of understanding and awareness within yourself. In earlier times, one sought such a teacher, hoping to be fortunate enough to learn at their side over years of close apprenticeship. Remarkably, Richard Moon offers that same gift here. Through these pages you are invited into a living dialogue that will touch your life and leave you forever changed."
Gary David, Ph.D.
Professor, Bentley University
