This is the dance of all living things. This is why endangered peoples say if they have their dance they will never die. — Amanda Fieldsend

A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions. — Carlos Castaneda
