ANZAC '08 Editorial Healing the Warrior
"All the world's road lead to the heart of the Warrior; plunging unhesitatingly into the river of passions always flowing through his life. The warrior knows that he is free to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment and sometimes with touch of madness.
He embraces his passion and enjoys them intensely. He knows that there is no need to renounce the pleasures of conquest; they are part of life and bring joy to all those who participate in them - but he never loses sight of things that last or of the strong bond forged over time. A Warrior can distinguish between the transient and the enduring."
 -from Sharlene Kraus
