The Art of Peace - 十一

Consider the ebb and flow of the tide. When waves come
to strike the shore, they crest and fall, creating a sound.
Your breath should follow the same pattern,
absorbing the entire universe in your belly
with each inhalation.
Know that we all have access to four treasures:
the energy of the sun and moon,
the breath of heaven,
the breath of earth,
and the ebb and flow of the tide.

- Ueshiba Morihei,
O Sensei, Tsunemori
