Just live normally. You'll be better off if you can catch some fish. Dig up the caves so you can set sail whenever you need to. It wouldn't be easy. But you have an endless amount of time ahead of you.
On this hand, imagine that these four fingers represent the animals, and the thumb represents plants. Then let's say people are here... On the tip of the middle finger, farthest from the heart.
The sun rises today and sets again. A flower that bloomed in the morning, falls from its stem. The sun sets today and rises again. Flowers bloom to fill the land, but not the flowers of yesterday...
Between dreams and reality is the vault of your soul. No one could see the “Dream World” without this path.
Simple yet mysterious. Distant ancestors unlike any plant or animal we've ever seen. These groups of odd creatures have induced whispers of fear among man since ancient times.

About Mushi-Shi
Also known as Mushishi.
It isn't unusual for a person to feel that the world around them is strange and has unexpected secrets lying just beyond their sight. However, for most people this is just an occasional sensation that greets them upon awakening or chases them into sleep. For the mushi researcher Ginko, it isn't a feeling at all; it is a knowledge which guides his travels and motivates his life. Found in the cracks between what is conceivable and what is not, are the varied life forms collectively known as mushi. They surround us and affect us, but their intensely different nature makes them unrecognizable to most. Ginko brings these life forms into perspective for the lives of those most affected and most in need of an explanation.
