LOVE is the Victory … ( 06 / 28 / 2011 )
“ In the first stage , man & sword become one and each other . Here even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon . In the next stage , the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart . Even without a weapon , the warrior can slay his enemy from a hundred paces . But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether . The warrior embraces all around him … Only peace remains .” ~ Zhang Yimou ( from the movie “ Hero ”)
“ Everything in this world tries to pull us away from Love ; pushes us to choose ourselves over others ; to choose independence over interdependence ; to choose great things over small things ; to choose going fast alone over going far together .” ~ Shane Claiborne
Choose to go far instead of with power … Choose others instead of self .
