武道 詩抄 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to be better

not perfect; 

a good goal 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

ask yourself 

is it worth jail time; 

don't do the crime 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

in the fight

never stand still;

movement is change


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

force secures obedience

seldom morality; 

laws lead to suppression 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

negative thinking

is the nature of man;

positivity is hard work


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

question language

as it relates to reality;

watch the body


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

written laws must

easily understood by all; 

common laymen apply


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

we see enso

in all the universe; 

only in the moment 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

past presence future

only in the present;

one is completed 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

ultimate penalty

is no penalty; 

best of goals


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

master this day 

a day at a time;

baby steps my friend 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to move

puts you on the path;

silence moves mountains 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

death is there 

biding time;

facing the grim reaper 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

perfection is willingly 

being imperfect; 

living wabi sabi 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

see nothing

feel nothing;

just non existent 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

ignore perfection 

strive for being good; 

good is perfect 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

live to the fullest 

in this moment; 

being present


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

following a crowd 

is to be lost; 

finding yourself


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

embrace the dark 

stand in good company;

only the shadow knows


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

trust instincts 

they come from experience;

being one with them


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

trust instincts 

they come from experience;

being one with them


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

unconditional love 

only in movies; 

being realistic 


GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

time and choices

choosing this moment; 

a wise owl 🦉
