4| Unforseen yet still Unforshaken

With a Dramatic Change of pace and Lifestyle, the samurai found himself in what had to be a dream. Just far from what he would call his dream. Desperate to find his way back to his path, he wandered and wondered. "Where am I?" As he looked, he saw vast lands that stretched as far as the Eye could see, yet the eye could see where the land ended. Both desolation and Abundance dwelt as friendly neighbors. The vulture and the chicken are in the same coop. It was not an easy place to reconcile to say the Least. He ask " My Lord, what am I to do? I can neither flourish nor Parish. I see many reasons to step back into that boat, yet you compel me to stay and push forward into uncertainty." "Come," his Lord replied as would a father calling his son to surprise him. So the samurai found him self both sinking yet afloat, feeling the water rise over his calf more often than ever before, but when the devourer would come once again, water became solid rock. Uncomfortable brought comfort to his mind, remembering his Lord's words: be comfortable on the water, live life on the water.
