It was written circa 1645 it’s a text on Kenjutsu & Martial Arts written by the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi it’s mainly about discipline. The reason I’ve mentioned Go Rin No Sho . Is that I thought of something someone said to me over 10 years ago the other day it is basically knowing your enemy and getting your enemy’s trust to defeat them.
The reason I mentioned it was in the last post I needed to be more disciplined in what I eat, & my eating habits so I need the frame of mind to achieve this so looking to this to help me.
I’ve just gave my blood and Urine to the nurse to be looked at today . I don’t like needles and she nearly had to get me off the ceiling after I gave blood. In fact there should be a door out to the corridor that way that would have be easier to get out.
Now I’m waiting for the results and after illness and pain waiting is the 3rd thing I don’t well. To combat this one of the things I do is pace I can cover miles just pacing, when I have something on my mind. It’s relaxing & therapeutic and many a issue has been resolved that way. I’m sure I will need a new carpet soon at this rate. recently I did some yoga I did find very relaxing, it's a shame I cant keep it up because of work commitments. I have to say on this I did it by accident and I thank a night out in a really nice pub I frequent now and again & one of the most random of conversations that made be go to the class. Ok there may have been a pint or 2 involved.
On the diet front has improved a bit I have to be so creative when I’m cooking tea now it scares me I’m succeeding. My stomach hasn’t felt like I have been used as a practise target for the GB Taekwondo team, for the last couple of days, I still can’t have crisps or any other things like that and if I do have any meat then any excess fat must be taken off. I’m looking at alternatives I’m assuming my butcher can rise to the occasion in that department and source something different. One thing I have found out is I’m not getting hungry now if I’m busy this is normal then all of a sudden my body shouts at me to get food. This is not happening so I have to make sure I eat at regular times.
Once again people have been brilliant helping out with this and the advice I have been given is really helpful and invaluable. I still don't know what is exactly wrong tho , & that is what is bugging me
Waiting for the blood test to happen this morning I had time to think, seeing it wasn’t appointment based, I had to go back to the old way of waiting which was nice for a change. I had a unexpected message from someone last week when I told them I had a problem. I’m taking it for what was at the time a genuine message. It’s a regret I can’t speak to the person more often.
I will leave you with this text form the Book of 5 rings
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 ... These things cannot be explained in detail. From one thing, know ten thousand things. When you attain the Way of strategy there will not be one thing you cannot see. You must study hard.
