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.
