Ikezu took a deep breath in, spread his legs out, raised his hands to his chest and pushed down while breathing out. The leaves around him flowed freely, twirling in the breeze.
His hands came together as he stepped forward placing his right hand below his left with both palms up as he lifted his hands up to the sky a falling leaf twirled towards his hands. Bringing his feet back together he turned and pushed his hands back down to the earth and the leaf followed his hands path to the ground.
A sharp turn, and his left leg raised with his right hand, as his left hand dropped to his side in an open hand low block. His left foot touched the ground, followed by his left hand, followed by his right, as he cartwheeled forward. His right leg stepped back in a deep forward stance as he turned his head behind his left hand raising up at a 90 degree angle, as his right hand floated stiffly over his right leg. He turned towards his bending right leg, as his left hand shot forward over his now supporting right arm.
He took two steps forward and did the same in reverse.
These movements caused the leaves falling to wrap around Ikezu, as he brought his feet together making a great circle with his hands, the leaves following his movements as his hands twisted and contorted gathering more. His body turned as his open hands pulled and pushed like branches swaying in the breeze, Ikezu's body resembling the tree strong and still in every movement, yet flexible and ready to change.
His hands came together and the leaves flowed around him twirling to the ground. They freely adapted a new path, based around Ikezu’s movements. This image was that of peace, and Ikezu had a great understanding of the philosophy.
"Stable, yet flexible." Ikezu said to himself as he rose into the air to contemplate the next lesson.
