"Buku muncul dari intersubjektivitas, ikatan hidup nafsu amarah, kebencian, atau cinta antara orang yang menghasilkannya dan orang yang menerimanya. Oleh karenanya, jika buku itu berhasil menarik perhatian, ribuan orang bersiap menolaknya, bahkan menganggapnya tidak ada." (Jean Paul Sartre, filsuf asal Prancis)
Musashi Miyamoto is considered a monumental figure, master of sword, and a true truthful truth searcher. He wrote a book entitled "A Book of Five Rings". Musashi Miyamoto was an autodidactic person. He taught himself to learn many kinds of knowledge.
Musashi was very modest, honest, and a tough personality to train himself. He realized the importance of timing and rhythm in every aspects of life. The most interesting point of Musashi is that he knew how to read time. He knew when to stop fighting and transformed himself to be an artist, and ended himself to be a philosopher in the end of his life. It seems he needed great intuition to decide when to stop something and when to start something else. His great intuition made him to be a real life fighter. He drove time, not the time drove his life.
He was a real "pejalan jauh", a real life traveler, a real searcher. Since this blog is about traveling, I think Musashi Miyamoto is a good model.
Then why this blog is called Musashi Makan Angin? According to my Malaysian friend, traveling is "makan angin" in Malay. Then, Musashi and Makan Angin is a nice combination! A serious figure and relaxing moments.
The order of the post here is from the newest post to the older ones. Enjoy this blog! Greetings from Yogyakarta.
