Wake, butterfly -
it's late, we've miles
to go together.
-------------------------------------------------
Has it returned,
the snow
we viewed together?
-------------------------------------------------
Birt of art -
song of rice planters,
chorus from nowhere.
-------------------------------------------------
Morning glory -
it too
turns from me.
-------------------------------------------------
Such fragrance -
from where,
which tree?
-------------------------------------------------
Buddha's death-day -
old hands
clicking rosaries.
-------------------------------------------------
How I long to see
among dawn flowers,
the face of God.
-------------------------------------------------
Dying cricket -
how full of
life, his song.
-------------------------------------------------
Summer grasses,
all that remains
of solider's dreams.
-------------------------------------------------
First winter rain -
I plod on,
Traveller, my name.
For a lovely bowl
Let us arrange these flowers,
For there is no rice.
The temple bell stops–
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.
In honour of this day, what would you say are your favourite haiku by Bashō r/haiku?
A haiku by the poet Matsuo Bashō:
>Between our two lives
there is also the life of
the cherry blossom
This morning's quote and the last one are brought to you courtesy of the book Tribe of Mentors. I've got a massive collection of quotes from that book that are ripped directly from Tim's favorite quotes, and then close to a third of the book itself is highlighted. The only book that I have that has a similar number of highlights is Running Lean. I'd recommend both to everybody.
This quote goes to the heart of the dogma vs. intent discussion. JBP has discussed the dangers of dogma, but also its necessity in establishing an initial foundation. Once the foundation is in place, the spirit of the message, and letting it evolve to meet the new social realities that weren't around when it was initially established, become more important.
I fall trap to wanting to follow in the footsteps of the wise anytime I encounter a thinker that I enjoy. Tim Ferris, Sam Harris, Jocko, JPB. It becomes easy to take their word as gospel, rather than as a source of useful inputs to help me my journey.
Easy is the key word here. I have limited time and energy. It would be so much nicer to simply follow what they say, step-by-step, and then devote my attention elsewhere.
But life is more complicated than that. I'm not Jocko or Tim or JBP. We live different realities. We certainly have quite a bit of overlap in our realities (the shared human experience), and the mission - to live the best life possible - is a shared mission, but that's it.
I'm an individual. They are individuals. I will have individual decisions to make on the way to accomplishing my mission. I can learn from others, but I can't let somebody else make my decisions for me.

Recently read The Narrow Road to the Interior and was really captivated by it. It resonated with me a lot, much like Siddhartha did. I actually feel like it's in the same vein/tone of Siddhartha. I'm not necessarily looking for more haiku, more the prose. Perferably something Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, but as long as its origins are Asian I'm interested!
Many don’t know that Cardano names have such deeper meaning.
Here’s a breakdown.
Cardano: The name of the Blockchain developed by IOG is named after Girolamo Cardan or Cardano. He was an Italian doctor and mathematician who is famed for his work Ars Magna which was the first Latin treatise devoted solely to algebra. He also made a living for a time gambling and once slashed a man in the face for suspected cheating. Don't ask this guy for his wallet recovery words..https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Cardan/

ADA and lovelace: The Native Token of Cardano, Ada, and its smallest unit of measure lovelace, comes from Ada Lovelace. She was born Ada Byron and later met Charles Babbage. Ada is often referred to as 'the first programmer'https://cardano.org/what-is-ada/

Ouroboros: The name of Cardano’s proof of stake consensus algorithm comes from both Egyptian and Norse folklore. Translated literally from Greek meaning “tail eater,” and depicted as a snake or dragon eating its own tail, Ouroboros often represents the circle of life.

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hoje de manhã, o meu pai vai levar-me até a uma pequena cidade perto daqui onde apanharei um comboio que vai até à outra ponta do Lago Ontário. Desembarcando, encontrar-me-ei com a minha mãe e vamos juntos até ao Condado do Príncipe Eduardo, onde nos espera a minha irmã. Vamos passar uma noite em casa dos pais da namorada dela antes de continuarmos, logo de manhã do dia seguinte, para a cabana que partilhamos com a família da minha mãe e que se situa no Québec rural, ao pé da fronteira com o Vermont.
A viagem do CPE para o Québec vai ser longa, mas menos longa do que seria normalmente, pois estaremos a “cortar” a viagem em porções mais manejáveis. Gosto desta forma de viajar, que me lembra das viagens do mestre de haiku Matsuo Bashō. Bashō foi um poeta errante que, depois da casa dele ter sido destruída por um incêndio, passou os últimos anos da sua vida a caminhar pelas províncias do norte do Japão. Para o Bashō, não havia objecto além de viajar, no entanto foi visitando vários amigos e conhecidos, inclusive outros poetas e alunos, passando às vezes inteiras épocas do ano com eles. Na sua viagem interminável, ou andando por caminhos de cabras ou pelas estradas primitivas provinciais, cheias de lama no inverno, escreveu poemas de uma beleza subtil, mas não menos intensa por isso. Deixo-vos aqui um:
>O sol de inverno:
o cavalo congela
a minha sombra.
Trad. Gustavo Frade)
Don't lose the trail
of wisdom's scent.
While on this hunt,
don't go astray,
worrying if every little thing
is good or bad.
You are the traveler,
you are the path,
and you are the destination.
Be careful
never
to lose
the way to yourself.
~Suhrawardi (Sufi)
-------------------------------------
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
~Rumi (Sufi)
-------------------------------------
She saw that all phenomena arose, abided, and fell away.
She saw that even knowing this arose, abided, and fell away.
Then she knew there was nothing more than this, no ground,
nothing to lean on, stronger than the cane she held.
Nothing to lean upon at all, and no one leaning…
And she opened the clenched fist in her mind and let go,
and fell, into the midst of everything.
~Teijitsu (Zen), abbess of Hakujuan
-------------------------------------
Not knowing
The name of the tree,
I stood in the flood
Of its sweet smell.
~Matsuo Bashō(Zen)
-------------------------------------
Center of all centers, core of cores,
almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet–
all this universe, to the furthest stars
all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit.
Now you feel how nothing clings to you;
your vast shell reaches into endless space,
and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow.
Illuminated in your infinite peace,
A billion stars go spinning through the night,
blazing high above your head.
But in you is the presence that
will be, when all the stars are dead.
~Rainer Maria Rilke(Austrian mystic/poet)

C5: Blossom Cloud Irutsuki 花雲鐘入月
This phrase is the title of a jōruri play called Hana no Kumo Kane ni Irotsuki, which was inspired by one haiku poem of Matsuo Bashō, the famous Edo poet:
>花の雲
>
>鐘は上野か
>
>浅草か
>
>Amid the clouds of blossoms
>
>Is the bell’s chime Ueno
>
>Or Asakusa?
While haiku rarely rhymes, it usually invokes readers' different senses. The phrase Blossom Cloud Irutsuki describes a scene in which the cherry blossom petals have scattered on the road like a cloud. Readers, like Matsuo Bashō did, walk on this cloud of blossoms (花雲) to be lost in thought. Then, a bell chimes (鐘), reminding us to look upon the sky, only to realize that the moon has been there (入月). Our sense switches from visual, to tactile, to auditory, and returns to visual again.
The switch from the clouds of blossoms to the moonlit night in the physical world also signifies the thought process of the readers. Like how spring does not last forever, or blossom petals have to return to the earth, the sun must be replaced by the moon, regardless of whether we can hear the bell's chime or not. The theme of ephemerality is clearly invoked from Ayaka to contrast with Raiden Shougun's eternity.
C6: Dance of Suigetsu 間水月
Suigetsu 水月 has more than one meaning, but the most common is "the moon's reflection on water". 間 is not "dance" but rather "a space, the separation". So 間水月 (aida no suigetsu) means "to separate the moon's reflection from the water surface", or "to fish the moon's reflection from water".
Of course, such desire is unattainable. 水月 is the second half of a Classical Buddhism proverb - 鏡花水月 "flower in the mirror, moon in the water", to describe a fantasy or mirage. Again, the theme of ephemerality: a moon's reflection on water dissolves on the moment we touch it.
The sense of "dancing" in the official English translation likely comes from the following passive ability Usurahi Butou (increasing Ayaka's Charged Attack damage). The Japanese text for this ability is 薄氷の舞 "dancing on thin ice", which is self-ex

Hey! You may not have noticed me around here before but I previously posted a NANO deep dive as a consequence of this poll in which Cardano (ADA) came in second and was therefore entitled to the follow up Deep Dive. Now, you may have noticed that it says 'weekly' but the NANO deep dive was posted over two weeks ago. Life tends to get busy like that. In any case, I'm back and hoping to catch up a bit! This week I am finally posing the Cardano deep dive, and will be doing a double-feature on Tuesday and Thursday next week to take a look into Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) as per the second poll. Anyway, without further ado, here is my DD on Cardano.
Disclosure & Liability Statement
Each deep dive contains a disclosure statement wherein I state if there is any stake that I currently or have recently held in the coin discussed. This is to ensure transparency and provide clarity on potential conflicts of interest related to the work. However, for privacy and security reasons, I will not be providing evidence to support the disclosure statement.
I currently hold or have recently held some amount of ADA.

Introduction & History
When first conceived, cryptocurrencies and blockchains were intended to solve the “double-spend” problem and principally replace modern fiat currencies as the predominant medium of exchange. However, a Russian-Canadian programmer in his early 20s named Vitalik Buterin changed all of this when he released the whitepaper for his idea of a new kind of blockchain network: Ethereum (ETH). In this whitepaper,

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
