"It is one thing to study war and another to live the warrior's life." -- Telamon of Arcadia, mercenary of the fifth century B.C.
If you want to have a clearer picture of what it takes to live the warrior life -- and the ongoing attempt to integrate and embody those experiences into one's current life -- be sure to watch the remarkable documentary starring Rudy Reyes which we wrote about recently, here. The documentary, by In Their Boots, is entitled, "The Way of the Warrior."
I think of all the warriors I have known, and they're all still integrating what they've learned and been into who they are right now. It isn't easy, and it never stops. But healing does and can happen.
