New great book I read
I am reading the japanese way of the artist by H.E. davey and must say it really is impressive. I can see how these techniques can be used for shakuhachi. I reccomend it 
I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.

Re: New great book I read
An excerpt from the book.
Funi:
Non-duality, where the creator and the created can be distinguished from one another but ultimately cannot be divided.
For the artist in harmony with nature, no effort or contrivance is needed to produce wabi sabi elegance. Existing in a state transcending distinction, a state in which the duality separating the artist and the universe has dissolved, the artist allows the ki of nature flow through her or him and into the art being created. Nature, the artist, and the creation form a “nondual entirety.” The result is a beauty that does not distinguish between ugliness and its opposite.
I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.
