George Breed

The more prosaic info:

I have a Ph.D in Psychology and a 5th degree black belt in Isshinryu Karate (awarded by the Isshinryu founder, Tatsuo Shimabuku). I live at the base of a dormant volcano in Flagstaff, Arizona. I walk a lot, taking photos as I go.

The more poetic info:

I belong to the Cosmic Fight Club. The Great Mystery is my personal trainer, oversees the whole endeavor, gives me good instruction. Rumi is my road man, laughing and singing and dancing backwards and sideways through wide open spaces. George Breed is my sparring partner. He's a wily little devil and knows all my weak spots. Buddha is my cook, serving generous portions of his nourishing Heart Sutra soup. Lao Tzu is my press agent, reluctant to say anything at all. Jesus is my cut man. He knows all wounds and their healing. The posted training schedule is simple. No matter when I look, it says Now. I'm always at the gym, always working out, when I think I'm not, and when I don't think I am. This spiritual athlete business is tough. But I wouldn't have it if it were any other way.
