The third side of a coin is essentially the one that connects the other two sides: the head and the tail. This analogy is used throughout the book to emphasize the importance of mastery learning in any profession, such as medicine, law, or engineering.

Illusion has many real examples in nature. This working table I am writing on, a piece of wood, is so firm, so rigid, so static that it is hard to believe that literally trillions of electrons in it are moving almost at the speed of light. Its rigidity is an illusion, like a magic. This universe is a Magic Kingdom in the Disney World!

Among The Wasps Silence is the first haiku collection by Eduardo Ribeiro. Here are gathered, within Zen threads, twelve dozen haiku of classic inspiration in homage to a tradition ranging from Basho to Santoka. However, haiku, as poetry, as Zen, are alive so don´t be surprised to find cars and plastic amidst flowers and cuckoos or a, sometimes dark, sense of humour twisting nature contemplation.
