MUSASHI Meaning Clusters Miyamoto Musashi spent many years building a reputation as a fierce samurai. He meditated one day with a Buddhist monk named Takuan Soho. They sat in a stream. Musashi noticed a poisonous snake. It slithered over the monk like he was a rock or tree. When the snake approached Musashi he glared at it. Like many warriors before Musashi’s blade the snake fled. Musashi wept. He realized that he trained himself to win every confrontation. He also realized Takuan trained himself to live without confrontation. Musashi knew that if he allowed his awareness to slip for a second he might die. He decided the monk may have found a better solution.

OUROBOROS Meaning Clusters “Why do I always eat my own tail?” the snake thought. “It doesn’t taste very good.” “It doesn’t seem to serve any evolutionary purpose.” “I might be able to roll down hills easier with my tail in my mouth.” “But if I eat my tail I’ll probably die.” “Is it symbolic?” “Does it represent the cyclical nature of nature itself?” “Nature doesn’t seem to need symbolism.” “Nature also doesn’t seem to question itself very much.” “All this thinking has made me hungry” “Maybe I should eat my tail.” “Why do I always eat my own tail?” the snake thought.

STEVE THE BAIJI DOLPHIN Meaning Clusters Steve had a beautiful voice. But he never liked the way his dorsal fin looked. All the other dolphins in the Yangtze River were practically blind but that didn’t stop Steve from worrying about his fin. He wished things would change. So when dams and boats filled the river with more and more mud and pollution Steve sang a happy song. Now no one would see his fin. The loud boats made it difficult to hear. The loud boats took away the fish Steve loved to eat. And before long no other dolphins lived in the river where they could appreciate Steve’s beautiful voice. Steve sang alone accompanied by droning boats. But at least no one would ever see his misshapen fin.
