If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything. - Miyamoto Musashi

The Way is shown in five books concerning different aspects. These are Ground, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. The body of the Way of strategy from the viewpoint of my Ichi school is explained in the Ground book. It is difficult to realise the true Way just through sword-fencing. Know the smallest things and the biggest things, the shallowest things and the deepest things. As if it were a straight road mapped out on the ground, the first book is called the Ground book.

"Cuando estáis combatiendo contra los enemigos, si tenéis la sensación de estar estancados y de no hacer ningún progreso, abandonad vuestro estado de ánimo y pensad en vuestro corazón que estáis empezando algo nuevo. Cuando conseguís el ritmo, ya sabéis cómo ganar. Esto es "renovarse"."

when you accept things as they are, it allows you to step into reality. The veil of fantasy that most of us shield ourselves with is torn into pieces and we can deal with things as they actually are, good, bad, or indifferent. The fact of the matter is that the world does not care about you or me, our hopes, our desires, or our dreams. And, the world of dreams, hopes, and desires that is constructed between our ears it is not necessarily a reflection of what is actually going on around us.
