武道 詩抄
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
be predictable
then be unpredictable;
blown away
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
sweep the garden
of your mind;
being present
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
silence the mind
heal the soul;
be kind to you
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
mind does senses
breathing does the mind;
breathe in each moment
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
the wise say nothing
they just do it;
no wise asses
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
no winning
no losing;
only doing till done
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
voice raised means
improve your argument;
fact-checking
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
in our minds
or outside;
why not both
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
seek simplicity
complexity muddies water;
let water inspire
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
sounds of nature
need no translation;
listen to the rain
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
opportunities
exist in the chaos;
understanding
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
acts of kindness
no gratitude required;
it matters
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
past is past
future not written;
got a pencil now
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
voice raised
argument is poor;
Improvement
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
a balanced mind
is a balanced body;
seeking yin/yang
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
unity of mind
creates unity of body;
tao of the heart
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
act without
expectations;
present mind no-mind
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
ending issues
stop thinking;
feel your presence
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
strength of will
trumps the physical;
mindfulness
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
cannot confine void
cannot snap gentleness;
bend the reality
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
adversary not enemy
but your ego is;
self discovery
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
perfectionism is
a fear of criticism;
present the moment
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
life is a series
of natural changes;
the I Ching
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
take a long path
if it avoids violence;
escape the trap
THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
do not judge
do not be judged;
look to understanding
