Harmony be with you if peace is not
"Greet the enemy with the respect you would like," offered Wu
"Instantly your conflict becomes a dance. Keep thanks for God at your
Very center no matter what move your opponent makes. Do
Internal work to prepare for battles before they knock at the door.
Now is all you ever have to show praise for the Grace
God has given you. In Daniel's moment like a small stone sailing at
Goliath's brow: The words to his enemy: 'Why are we fighting, ace?'
Open path and direct hit. Silence. There is no reason, failing that,
Doing what is expected. Following orders. Any reason one can name
Truly falls short of sanity. Death. Vengeance. Honor. There is no need for it.
How precious is all life? Too precious to take in the name of an idea.
All rhyme and reason falls apart in justifying war.
No enemy exists who is truly aligned with evil unless we choose not to
Kiss and make up projections of our inner faults
Sometimes we must understand instead of taking our stand.
