The Nine Ways of Strategy - 1643 - Musashi

1. Do not think dishonestly
2. The way is in training
3. Become acquainted with the arts
4. Know the ways of all professions
5. Distinguish between true gain and loss
6. Develop intuitive judgement
7. Perceive things not seen
8. Pay attention - even to trifles
9. Do nothing which is of no use

There you have it...

Fudoshin

A spirit of unshakable calm and determination,
courage without recklessness,
rooted stability in both mental and physical realms.
Like a willow tree,
powerful roots deep in the ground
and a soft yielding resistance against
the winds that blow through it.

She's got a way

She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her

Carved on Xiao Flute

There are faint green mountains and far green waters,
And the grass in this river region is not yet faded by autumn;
Clear is the moon on the Twenty-Four Bridges,
Girls white as jade are teaching flute-music.

Trail of trails

As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Bums on Bikes

The pedaling action is smooth and my legs are stronger than people think. I miss my fender. It was important after all.

Well... hurry up then

“It is almost as if you were frantically constructing another world while the world that you live in dissolves beneath your feet, and that your survival depends on completing this construction at least one second before the old habitation collapses.”
-Tennessee Williams
