Haiku Shuukan – revitalize

The bow is life: the source of all energy. The arrow will leave one day. The target is a long way off. But the bow will stay with you, and you must know how to look after it. It requires periods of inaction – a bow that is always armed and braced loses its strength. Therefore, allow it to rest, to recover its firmness; then, when you draw the bow-string, the bow will be content, with all its strength intact.

The Way of the Bow

As is the need of the bow having time to recover … you all need to take time to recover, to relax, to hold back and take it slow.
Go with the flow, follow the signals of your body … when you are exhausted take a break, a nap. When you are feeling sick go to your doctor or go outside into nature breath in the healthy air of Mother Nature’s breath … feel how she revitalizes you and gives you new strength.

Be like the bow …

breath in, breath out
feel the healing energy of Mother Earth –
bow to her glory
