See With Your Mind
The World is Your School
“See first with your mind, then with your eyes, and finally with your body.”
- Yagyu Munenori
Every job comes with its challenges,
We feel either confident or lost,
Can the job be done, by us?
We feel nervous that it is too much.
We fear that we will fail in our chest,
That we will not taste sweet success.
The Samurai says in so few words.
We must first see with our minds.
Then open your eyes and see again.
Once you have done both of these,
You will certainly not feel the same.
Sight from the depths of your body and soul.
Makes every warrior wiser, skilled, and whole.
This world is your school.
This world is your playground.
Enjoy the experience of this life.
It will help you overcome any strife.
When you see with your open mind,
You see the world in a different light.
You open your eyes to brighter vision and sight.
The mirage of life dissolves into a new reality.
Open your soul to feel this life in its purity.
By opening your heart to feel its beating pulse.
Once you have joined your soul to the heavens,
To the all-embracing universal cosmic force,
You are connected to the universe and its course.
Every word, thought and deed will bear fruit.
Every work done will grow from a tiny shoot.
"The world is your playground." I LOVE this!!!!!
