Female Japanese archer, photographed by Tony Jarry and posted by maxre.  Maxre’s note to the photo:  “The northern part of Japan is the place where the majority of archers  are women. This event is a women’s only event. They ride and shoot at  fixed targets. Towada has the most women archers in Japan. This City  also has the most women archers in the country. Very traditional sport.”

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. There will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.
