But should the frog not seek the next lily pad? - U Sasori ga kaeru ni mizūmi o watatte tsugi no yuripaddo ni hakobu yō ni yōkyū suru to, kaeru wa chūcho shite, sasori ni sasa reru no o osoremasu. Sasori wa, seiki no saibansho de, sasori ga kaeru o sasu to, karera wa dochira mo shinudarou to hanketsu o kudashimasu. Kaeru wa dōi shimasuga, mizūmi o watatte rirī no shikichi made no tochū de, sasori wa hontōni kaeru o sashite shi ni itara semasu. Kaeru ga naze sasori ni tazuneru to, sasori wa sore ga honshitsu-teki ni sōdearu to kotaeru. - The Zen of Miyamoto, an ancient proverb as taught to her by her Gurandomasutā
When a scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a lake to the next lily pad, the frog will hesitate, afraid to be stung by the scorpion. The scorpion make its case in the court of public opinion that if the scorpion stings the frog, they both will die. The frog agrees, but midway across the lake to the lilly pad, the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both to death. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so. - The Way of Shadow, translation of an ancient proverb as taught to him by his Grand MasterI love this. Even in the mood of Bashō, purpose is paramount.

@locolucha I do enjoy your deep thoughts, Umeji. Perhaps you and I could sit and meditate together at some point. I feel you and I could learn much from each other. Of course, I always leaves an open seat. The Universal Protector may join in on that as well!

Kokoro no tadashī wakugumide sae, Bashō-san no shijin no kawa o hebi no yō ni suteru koto o yurusu yuiitsu no mokuteki de daini no seishitsu ni naru koto o nozonde iru, katamuite iru, sutesatte iru, omoikitte iru, iyoku-tekidearu, Musashi-san, Patton-san, Magoko-san no rōnin ken no daini no hada o tokuchō to suru shakai no ma no kattō no geijutsu ni okeru kessaku no saranaru peintingu. Kore wa furui hada ni fuchaku shite iru kanōsei no aru kiseichū o jokyo suru sai ni jūyōdesu. - The Zen of Miyamoto
Even in the right frame of mind, wanting to, inclined to, disposed to, minded to, eager to, willing to, will shed the skin of the poet quill of Bashō like a snake and becomes second nature in the sole purpose of allowing for further painting of a masterpiece in the art of conflict between societies characterized by the second skin of the rōnin sword of Musashi, Patton, and Sun Tzu that is paramount when removing parasites that may have attached to their old skin. - The Way of Shadow, translation

Some might think they own the sunset. If not shared, the word goes dark. - U Taiyō ga azuma no sora ni ukabi, taiyō ga nishi no soraniukabu to, sekai nakaniha iatsu-tekide attōtekina kage ga arimasuga, kage no naka ni ochitsuita ochitsuki-kan ga arimasu. - The Zen of Miyamoto
When the sun rises in the Eastern sky and the sun sets in the Western sky, there is a cutting-edge silent lucidity throughout the world that is threatening, overpowering, and yet has a sense of subdued tranquility within the shadows. - The Way of Shadow, translation

@bonnie_blue I died once. It was a little anticlimactic.
