Telling a Fish about Water?

Fish that live in a flowing stream cannot see the water. They exist in it all the time and feel the push of the current, but for some reason they cannot perceive it.

If fish can see water, then all they can see is water and nothing else. So it is necessary for their eyes to filter out water and then see other things swimming in water.

This is the same reason why we cannot see air but can see the effect of air.

If God is ever present and all around us it would make sense following this analogy that God is invisible to us.(else we see nothing else). But can we see the effects of God? Too many Coincidences?

If the Word of God can change the world, it would make sense that God is silent to us. But can we see the effects of God's words?

Believe nothing of what you heard and half of what you see.
(What you hear can be seen as silent and what you see can be emptiness.)

Origami Koan

excerpt from The Way of the Sword by Christ Bradford

What does Origami Teach Us?

Nothing is as it appears. Just like a piece of paper can be more than a piece of paper in origami, becoming a crane, a fish or a flower so a samurai should never underestimate their own potential to bend and fold to life. To strive to become more than they first appear, to go beyond their obvious limits.

無限 Mugen. unlimited potential!

一期一会

Ichi Go Ichi E.

This is the concept that each meeting is special. There is no encore or repeat. The World is Transience. Change and keep changing. Points out that the only permanence is change.

In the duel of samurai, each meeting is a chance. Chance to live and chance to die. There is no repeat,therefore give it everything and live this moment.

I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
