Meditation on Ikkyo

Finally I have edited down some of the footage Aran shot of Paul and I messing around with Ikkyo.  Actually it didn't take too long since there was only one take, and a thin thread of supporting text. Some of the ideas I have wanted to write down for quite sometime but its hard to without supporting diagrams...then along came youtube.Split into 2 parts, Please enjoy...
