•{ The Fight in Us . . .

No matter what happens, you go to keep going. This isn’t the time to give up. Now is not the time to lay down the proverbial sword. I know you’re tired. You’ve been pushing forward every day. Pushing on past the aches and strain; battling against the seen and unseen.

It would be so easy to give in. Let someone else do it. Why should you keep going when so many others have settled and stopped?

Is it really worth it?

Is it?

You started on this path for your own reasons and with a firm goal in mind. Remember why you started. Remember what is waiting for you at the end, for there is an end!

It’s okay to take a break. Slow down. Breathe. It’s okay to stumble, fall, and even loose your way for a while – but don’t that be your end.

Pick yourself up and keep going.

•{ Roarin’ . . .

The wind blew cold
And the snow poured down
All around there was a sound

Listen and your ears will hear
What’s birthed ‘ere upon the morn’
Winter’s here, you’ve all been warned
And it comes upon a lions roar . . .

•{ Night Music . . .

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night . . .

– Lyrics. From “The Music of the Night” by Andrew Lloyd Webber

•{ Be Still . . .

“I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”
― T.S. Eliot

•{ . . . A Warrior’s Prayer

Here I am at the start of the day
Knowing another battle is coming my way
Give me strength to do what’s right
And wisdom for how to win the fight
My body’s bruised and my soul is weary
Though through it all let me see clearly
Keep me going, come what may
Help me go just one more day.

•{ a different type of heat . . .

It wasn’t just the heat that had been keeping her up at night, it was the thoughts running through her head.  How long since she had thoughts such as these? How long had it been since she felt something like this? 

Shadows crept across the room, lit by the light of the rising moon. It wouldn’t be much longer.  He’ll be coming home soon . . .

•{ Patient wolves . . .

“If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.” – Nikita Khrushchev

“Patience Nayla.  Patience,” she said as she stroked the fur along the wolf’s neck. They had been waiting for a chance to strike and the time was drawing closer. From their position on the field she had seen the players move into place and the stage set itself. 

The wolf was getting restless and, truth to tell, so was she. Though to be really effective one had to strike at the precise moment.

•{ Take a stand . . .

“Therefore the victories of good warriors are not noted for cleverness or bravery. Therefore their victories in battle are not flukes. Their victories are not flukes because they position themselves where they will surely win, prevailing over those who have already lost. So it is that good warriors take their stand on ground where they cannot lose, and do not overlook conditions that make an opponent prone to defeat. ” – Sun Tzu “The Art of War”

•{ And Fight Again . . .

Put on your armor and get up
The day looks lovely but it’s going to tough
Lift up your head, I know it’s rough.

You’ve waged these battles again and again
Hearts given up that they’ll ever end
Your armors worn and dress is torn
And of the losses there’s no time to mourn

Those cracks and dents don’t mean defeat
They’re proof that trials can be beat

Though that load be heavy, now you’re ready
The road is long, but your feet are steady . . .
