Readings and quotations

​

A strong, agile, pliable body leads to levelheadedness. Sobriety in itself becomes a governing, balancing force. Using one’s shield, giving ourselves to the things that give us peace and pleasure will certainly work to relax us and give us ‘a break’ from the inevitable and necessary bombardments of the warrior’s path. I have always used yoga, meditation, music, comedy and the utter beauty of nature as my shields. This is all I have and all I should need to possess, along with laughter and not taking myself seriously.
