Conch, specifically, is a food source that has been an important part of Taino cuisine and culture for centuries. Conch shells were also used in Taino spiritual and cultural practices, such as in rituals and ceremonies. In modern times, conch is still an important symbol of Taino culture and identity, and is often featured in art, music, and other creative expressions. The Taino people's advanced craftsmanship and artistry, as seen in conch shell carvings, is indeed a testament to their ingenuity and skill. The fact that they achieved such intricate work without access to metal tools is truly remarkable. that historians and archaeologists have proposed various theories, but the exact methods used by the Taino people remain a mystery. Some speculate that they may have used tools made from materials like bone, stone, or shells, which would have required great precision and control to achieve the fine details seen in their carvings. It's also possible that their techniques and methods were passed down through generations, but not documented in written records, which would explain why we don't have a definitive answer today. Regardless, the Taino people's art and culture continue to inspire wonder and admiration, and their legacy lives on as a testament to their creativity, resourcefulness, and skill. #islandArawak #islandCarib #Caribbean

The clap (No. 164) Amidst a veil of mist, everyone in the Zōjō-ji monastery woke up to the serene embrace of dawn. Nestled in a lush valley, the monastery's tranquil gardens were a symphony of nature's hues, where every leaf and stone whispered ancient wisdom. The air, pure and crisp, carried the subtle scent of incense, mingling with the earthy aroma of wet soil. A gentle stream meandered through along the monastery, its flowing water harmonizing perfectly with the faint, melodious chime of the monastery's ringing bells. It was as if Time too stood still to bask in a moment of profound peace and spiritual renewal. At the center of all this was Zen Master Ajima, lost in meditation. The serene atmosphere was shattered by the noise of heavy footsteps. Footsteps of a student Taijun. Taijun, who had joined the monastery around six months ago. Taijun, who was young, attentive and eager to learn but at the same time imperious and impatient at times. Master Ajima opened his eyes. "What brings you here my Son ?" "Master, I am done with the scriptures. There are so many contradictions in them. It was confusing at first. Now it is irritating. What do I do ?". The Master smiled. He stood up, spread his arms widely and bought them together with force. "What did you notice ?" "Well, I could see you bringing your hands together in a clapping action and it resulted in a noise". "True. If you had noticed, my hands appeared to oppose one another in the beginning. When the hands came together, there was a synthesis in the sound; the opposition is creating a synthesis. The scriptures present opposing points of view at times to create a sound in you. Understanding that is as important as understanding what the points of view are ". Taijun bowed down to his Master. Legend has it that after that moment, the tranquility in the monastery multiplied a hundred fold. #thoughts #mindset #tranquility #peace #understanding #wakeup 

"Kijtsugi", a philosophy that reminds me the great poem from Konstantinos Kavafis "Itaca", which highlights the relevance and value of the journey over the final destination. Organizational resilience could even be a representation of this approach, because we can react when things go wrong, we resist when something hurts and affects, and we respond to go back to the previous state, to preserve value.
