Well I'd have to say the greatest practical gift
WC has given me is the skill of practicality.My
nature tends to be disorganised and flighty.WC has given
me inportant tools to help me cut to the chase in
life and be more streight forward .Yet it encourages
and develops my creative side.Wc has allowed me to
evaluate myself more honestly and evaluate others more
objecivly.At the same time as being a tool to get to the heart
of a matter(practical),it also developes
sesitivity(abstract)and creative problem solving.And of course it has
saved my very life both from potentially lethal street
confrontations to a life wasted on street drugs.I owe so much to
WC I can't begin to express my respect for the art
and all who play it!I guess that turned into a
testemonial there but WC has so many things to offer, I could
not settle on just one.<br>Moontyger
