That path of manhood is not an easy path. We speak in terms, like “celebrating death”, that woman cannot or prefer not to understand. This talk of death seems morbid and yet denying that will will die, that everything will pass away, is the source of all suffering.

When we forget our warrior path; our journey to become a hero so that others may be free. We get lost in our emotions and self preservations. Ego then comes in to bring us down like a thief when the guards are asleep.
The path of the spirit adventurer is not easy! But, it is ultimately the most free path. I for one have much to learn about this ancient path of freedom. How about you?
