"Miyamoto's Five Rings is an insight into how this amazing warrior and philosopher lived his life and fought his battles. Although I do not actively participate in sword fights and have no relation to them, I have found the forms and teaching of Musashi can be applied to many aspects of life. I have recently finished the Book of Water, which talks about the Way of the Sword, and have started Fire." — Apr 07, 2021 06:20AM

“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”
― Invictus
