the warrior's way. - some days you just want to take off your armor and have someone caress your scars, and read the scripture life has carved in you. Then kiss those scars with understanding tenderness. and know the tome of you,  flesh is just the cover. The poetry in the book is in the pages within, and the eyes the prologue.

karmic debt

Scot quote of the day - i am very explicit in my expectations, so there are no misunderstandings. Although I still never cease to be amazed at people's grotesque ingratitude and purposeful lack of comprehension.. Treating a new someone bad...ly because a past someone treated you badly doesn't really help your situation. that's like living in the dark because you were once burned by a candle. I keep my obligations but I am in no way obliged to be a proxy punching bag for someone else's misdeeds. I am not obliged to withstand that punishment. A man's job pays a man's price. But I will not pay another persons karmic debt. All I ask is that we treat each other with kindness and respect. You want to know how to treat people? be explicit in your expectations, so there aren't any misunderstandings, because what is unspoken leads to dysfunction LOL

seduction

Rules of Blade seduction - P.O,W.E.R. - Pursuit, Overwhelm, Withdraw, Engage, Riposte - If I pursue you, run but keep my eyes.If I overwhelm you, get braver and grow stronger, If I withdraw, get closer, if I engage - accept, if I riposte yield to overcome and win through surrender
40 miles of bad road can lead to beautiful things, you fight the way you love. Or didn't you realize this.

In this poem I confess

As it often pleases

The gods like to play chess

 but don’t like to touch the pieces

and from the wounds they suture

from a blooded mistake

but you do not hire a butcher

to bake you a cake

and from that repast

you do as the she command

never put clothes on that fast

since “shit it’s my husband.”

for the words can oft misuse

and I can tell by your aura

You think you have issues,

 let me introduce you to Pandora

as we toss through the flow

and resign ourselves to fate

Friends may come,friends may go

but enemies accumulate

I'd die for you a hundred times
and in each time I live
for that kiss and eyes sublimes
and all the gifts I give, forgive

I'd die for you a thousand times
in the memory of that day
I'd give gladly all my rhymes
the altar to which I pray

I'd die for you ten thousand times
to save you from the grave
to never hear those funereal chimes
my life, if yours I'd save

I'd die for you a million times
never cheat, lie, or wrong you
all I ask is a kiss sometimes
you my heart through and through

I'd live for you for all of time, star-crossed
just to see that smile entices
for that happiness is worth the cost
of all my sacrifices

Love comes in many forms, and often indirectly - sometimes it is taking the time to go out for them in a storm to cover their head with your cloak, while the rain pummels you and lightning cracks the sky and say "it's okay', the rain will stop and you'll once again see the sun"


cuddling the sensei saves lives, and showering with the sensei conserves water, it's for the planet,

“If you have it, Love, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.”

this helped make my day

Tanya Winters I've just realized you are the standard by which I judge helpfulness and kindness and all those "knightly" things by. And damn did you set that bar high.


scot quote of the day - a text message is as much a conversation as- a grain of sand is a beach - conversation like fighting, like a tango, is a dialogue

scot quote of the day 1 - you are not attracted to decent hard working sweet passionate adventurous men - hon ney the problem just may be you

Love like your life depends on it. Because it Does

scot quote of the day 2 - ( ran into old friend on the train ) subject: Marital advice - sweety you should be more direct and boink more
Husband - sensei is a wise man

Some people just need a random fatal beating for being the bastard lovechild of arrogance and stupidity - lol

scot quote of the day - your purpose is to subtract stress from me, not add to it - do you really want me to review

scot quote of the day 1 - dude you've been single longer than I have, so long your right hand decided to friend zone you

you will always be my hero, was the best thing I heard today

Some days after the gods beat you like a red headed stepchild, kick you in the nuts, and steal your wallet, you just have to keep fighting because what other choice is there. Some things get lost in translation, others evaporate in the confusion of muddled context. But love is, hope is and faith is. Worth fighting for.


 

Love comes in many forms, and often indirectly - sometimes it is taking the time to go out for them in a storm to cover their head with your cloak, while the rain pummels you and lightning cracks the sky and say "it's okay', the rain will stop and you'll once again see the sun."

A sensei question asked of me today - "My Sifu said, The dragon can never make its home in your heart because the Tiger has made it's den there long ago, There is nothing more I can teach you, you belong to the world now."
Firstly, "What did My Sifu mean by "you belong to the world now?"
second "What is my path back to the light or am I destined to live this life of darkness until I am reborn and start this journey again.?"
He left the path of Buddha and took up the sword.

My answer - the path of bhuddah and the path of the sword are not mutually exclusive -

the dragon is serenity, spiritual, with power, the tiger is unfocussed , physical, rage - you belong to the world now means - you exist and belong to the material world , not the spiritual. The path back to the light is to rid yourself of desire and expectation, all of the worlds suffering comes from what we covet, not what we need. sleep when you are tired, eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, be thankful for both the sun and the rain, and be water, flow and adapt, do not be forceful because force cannot beat force. The path to the light is the path of the darkness because desire blinds us.

here is what the student had to say,

I read the response and yes, it makes perfect sense. That's why I knew I had to ask a Sifu only they can capture terms and phrases so sensibly and with so much meaning. I am forever in your debt, thank u be well and may peace, charity and good fortune be with you all the number of your days kind sir -bows-
