Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

Slicing Stuff With a Sword
I Stumbled onto this video. I thought it was pretty interesting. It was originally posted here.
Impressive...but unfortunately he was born in the wrong time; though the best in his art, he will most likely attract a smaller audience than an average professional illusionist...(sigh!)
You know, at first I thought that to demonstrate this man's skill on a show so..."kitschy" is disrespectful - and I still would rather have seen this on something like PBS, which would have handled it with a bit more seriousness - but I think this feeling is likely because I've had my head in a few too many stuffy books about martial arts.
Elitism aside, the skill this man possesses in just incredible.
