[[Monpō 聞法]] – deep hearing Humans learn through stories and patterns. The universe is overflowing with patterns. There is a pattern in everything. Skill/talent is a result of listening deeply to the universe and understanding how to respond appropriately to the circumstances. > From the beat of a heart to the cadence of emotions, the flow of creativity to the tempo of culture, rhythm is a universal element of the human experience. And in moments of discord, when the world falls out of sync with itself, rhythm is instrumental in guiding us back to harmony.
