....Then I began to think about that which moves and breathes in "those" places...reflections and echoes upon the dusty periphery...where the shadows dwell, and move, and have their being.
I stopped to scratch through that cool moist soil, and what came forth was sparkling and golden, a realization, that a person finds truth in their connection to all that lives and in the living, itself.

The art of peace that I practice has room for each of the world’s eight million gods, and I cooperate with them all.
The God of peace is very great and enjoins all that is divine and enlightened in every land.

Earthen Opus

The way of the warrior is based on humanity, love and sincerity; the heart of martial valor is true bravery, wisdom, love, and friendship.
Emphasis on the physical aspects of warriorship is futile, for the power of the body is always limited,
