Reflections of the Warrior of the Light
The warrior of the light sometimes
behaves like water, flowing around the many obstacles he encounters.
At certain times, resistance means
to be destroyed. At such times, he adapts to circumstances. He accepts,
without complaint, that the rocks along the way forge his path down
the mountains.
Such is the force of water: it can
never be broken by a hammer, or wounded by a knife. The most powerful
sword in the world is incapable of leaving a scar on its surface.
The water of a river adapts to the
path which is possible, without forgetting its objective: the sea.
Fragile at its spring, it gradually acquires the strength of the
other rivers it encounters.
And, after a while, its power is absolute.
