![]() Warriors are not the ones who always win, but the ones that always fight.įor warriors it is essential to keep the spirit of combat in mind twenty-four hours a day, whether walking, standing still, sitting down, or reclining, never forgetting it. I am a warrior, so that my son may be a merchant, so that his son may be a poet. My courage will come from knowing I can handle whatever I encounter…I was born to do this. I am the Ultimate Warrior, you are the Ultimate Warrior fans and the spirit of the Ultimate Warrior will run forever. I am a warrior not because I always win but because I will always fight. Hell yeah, I am going to win this battle. I have to contend against my feeling, my emotions for everything which makes me weak. ![]() I am a warrior and my competitor is myself. I am a warrior, and it is the way of the warrior to fight superior odds. I do what I do because it is the right thing to do. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. If you’re a true warrior, competition doesn’t scare you. ~ Chogyam TrungpaĪ warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does. ![]() To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life. ~ Théun MaresĪ warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does. ~Carl von ClausewitzĪ warrior has to believe, otherwise he cannot activate his intent positively. HincksĬourage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior. He is a warrior of virtue, A knight of conscience. The warrior stands, ready to defend, ready to fight for those he serves. The poem below, took shape in that process, and Sam shared it at our time of worship and sharing on Sunday afternoon.A warrior never worries about his fear. Both paintings, the beautiful scenery of King's Fold, the scriptures, and the idea of resting mixed together in his spirit, and he tried to let God's Spirit sort it out. ![]() The process continued in Sam's heart as he listened for God's word for him during the weekend. The leaves of Sam's painting stood out to her, and she drew just one leaf, resting gently on the ground. The second painting, just below the first, was the "response painting" by Ruth. (We use finger painting and tempera paints for our Friday evening exercises so there is less emphasis on precision in painting, and more on just letting the images out) For Sam this tree in fall was an image of rest. The first painting, by Sam Drew, is a tree in fall with all the leaves in beautiful colors fallen or falling to the ground. The paintings and poem below (or to the right) show how intricately the whole process can work. The story begins in one person's heart and continues in another's, and the process of God's work in us weaves through it all. The journey continues as another responds to our painting, and as we respond to another's painting. Each painting is a journey with much for us to observe both in the painting and ourselves along the way. Painting is always a process, we don't know the end from the beginning. We listened to ourselves in the first exercise, and we listened to the painting of another in the second exercise. These two exercises together help us focus on two key ideas of the retreat, listening and trusting the process. The first excericise in our Art, Vocabulary for the Soul retreat this last weekend, we responded to the question: "How do you find rest?" Next we traded paintings, and in the second excercise we painted a second painting as a response to the painting we had been given.
