Nice satori.
One question does Upanishards refer to the Hindu Scriptures Upanishads?

I think the spelling is Upanishad
probably in the singular, but Guy would know better than me.
I love the contrast in power and tone, despite the hippy overtone, from the first line to the rest.
It probably helps to know who Musashi is. Possibly the greatest samurai/swordsman in Japanese history. A poet, sculptor and scholar as well.

hello Guy,
if you could add this (or something like it, that would help the reader) as a footnote.
sa·to·ri [saa táwree]
spiritual illumination: in Zen Buddhism, a state of spiritual enlightenment that is a spiritual objective
otherwise, nicely done!
