Some chose fear, some chose love –
All are capable of becoming a warrior.
All cultures, all times, all paths are equal.
Possibility has always existed, in all places.
Through your heart,
Follow your breath,
Accept yourself exactly as you are, right now.
Allow the compassion there to extend
Beyond you, to all living creatures.
There will always be fear
And you will always be able to go beyond it.
Sit and notice your sensory experiences:
These are your humanity.
Just be.
Your mind and your body are one.
Your waking mind holds the brightest light,
Illuminating and energetic,
Balanced and strong.
In every movement, every action, every choice,
You can propel awareness into your being
And discard the cocoon of repetition.
Mindlessness and worn comfort are discarded.
The only renunciation you need
Is the renunciation of all barriers
Between your self and others.
Connect with all there is genuinely
Freshly, again and again.
Let go of all that is not you:
Fear, hesitation, embarrassment, selfishness.
Now: the past and present exist as one.
Magic exists here.
Real magic in every real phenomenon.
You cannot push magic into existence,
Only can you recognize it is already here
And invite it into your space
By intentional, aware movement and joy.
It will never belong to you.
The only true state of relationship with all phenomenon
Is free from arrogance. True humility,
With an aim toward service.
In this degraded cage, we have lost connection
To nature, to ourselves, and to each other.
Reconnect to nature, to yourself, and to one another.
This is the warrior’s fight to save the world,
To unite heaven and earth in your presence,
To acknowledge where we have come from,
And to where we go.
To accept your place in an endless,formless space:This is the warriors path to save the world.
Be brave and gentle
