An interview with a friend
Not long ago I got together with a friend, Cheryl Leonard, to interview her about her life in aikido, music, and mountain climbing. I’ve known Cheryl for ten years or so; we became acquainted at our first aikido dojo, and now we are members of Suginami Aikikai and frequently see each other at morning practice. I’ve wanted to interview her for some time and was delighted that we could meet one morning after practice for breakfast and a long chat at my house. Our interview is now online in Richard Whittaker’s most recent newsletter at conversations.org.
Cheryl’s life has included expeditions to Antarctica, Alaskan glaciers, and lots of climbing in California and the West as well as her commitment to aikido and to music making of an unusual kind. She is a good example of someone who knows how to use “the gift of danger” wisely as she continues to live “outside the box.”
