True Budo (martial way) is to accept the spirit of the universe, keep the peace of the world, correctly produce, protect and cultivate all beings in nature.

The Ancient Yew

Drives Strength

From Emptiness

BUSY old fool, unruly Sun,

        Why dost thou thus,

Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?

Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?

        Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide

        Late school-boys and sour prentices,

    Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,

    Call country ants to harvest offices ;

Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,

Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time
