• The Peaceful Warrior

  Posted: June 12, 2008, 6:53 pm by gal africana

  This perfectly brilliant movie (in my opinion) is based on Dan Millmans book "The peaceful warriors way". I will be getting the book asap.
  
  There's a really spooky (in a nice way) story about how I ended up watching it....It was recommended to me by tDA (loving the acronym btw :-) ) after I left a comment on his blog...Thing is he hasn't watched the movie but thought I'd like it anyway...and whadayaknow...I DO!
  
  I'm at a turning point in my life, a huge one, and I've been asking some huuuuuge questions which, as I've alluded to before, are being answered in a manner of different ways. This movie is a bucket full of answers for me....so tDA you've officially become one of the channels through which the universe/life is answering me! Thank you and (at the risk of seeming all frufru) thank you universe/life!
  
  So this is what the bucket is full of....these marvelous inspiring words...:
  
  Take out the trash! The trash is any thoughts that are keeping you from the only thing that matters, this moment, here, now. And when you truly are in the here, now, you'll be amazed what you can do and how well you can do it. (this message is coming to me from all over the place now...so this is my purpose for now...)
  
  Life's three rules
  paradox: life is a mystery, don't waste time trying to figure it out.
  humor: keep your sense of humor, especially about yourself, it is a strength beyond all measure.
  change: nothing stays the same.
  
  Death isn't sad, the sad thing is that most people don't live at all.
  
  The people that are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most. (this is a toughie)
  
  Every action has it's price and pleasure. Knowing both sides, a warrior becomes realistic and responsible for his actions.
  
  A warrior acts, only a fool reacts.
  
  Knowledge is not the same as wisdom, wisdom is doing!
  
  My three favorite ones:
  
  The first realization of a warrior is not knowing.
  
  A warrior is about absolute vulnerability.
  
  There are no ordinary moments!!! (none! every single moment is magical and only here now....)
  
  Be inspired folks :-)

  have me
  tumbling
  messily tortuously endlessly
  over this granite rocky scarp
  when i fight
  
  when i don't
  I'm tumbling
  over soft silky velvet
  embraced, caressed
  only to land
  in your arms
  where I adore you
  with my eyes and heart
  
  and want
  for nothing.

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
