I lean not unto the understanding of shepherds
by wanting there becomes a needless freedom

I lie down in the pastures of my own choosing
and savor the voices of the most angry waters

My soul is restored by the dawning of tomorrow
and I choose my paths according to the winds

I will ride swiftly through the valley of death
as my steed is light metal and without baggage

My bow and my sword, they comfort me
I dine at the table of my enemies when they sleep

My blades are whetted with finest of oils
and my cup is heated full with gypsy whiskey

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
for I am a warrior and I will clear a path for them

and I shall dwell at the gates of budo forever

Freedom expressed by a noble warrior's heart. I am impressed. Have read it already three times and the feeling of being in the presence of a man who walks on a sacred Path becomes stronger every time.

Love this, you know what true power is.



Love,
Margherita
