The Way of the Streetfighter

He is is unbeatable
with iron will and nerves of steel
the streetfighter knows every trick
as fast as lightening
and subtle as a snake
he fears no danger
for his Way is complete

Borne on the wind
and as fluid as water
adaptibility is the name of the game
he can take the blows
bobbing and weaving
and always coming back for more

With indomitable spirit
and extreme confidence
he wins every battle
before they begin
the outcome determined
inside his mind

He teaches his gifts
to those he trusts
fidelity is the name of the game
he trains and fights
as if every encounter
were his last
the Art of fighting
without fighting
is the highest form of all

So smart, Peter! The facilitator and the fighter are one and the same person, perhaps, both sides of the same coin. The qualities are similar - getting stuff sorted - and the requirements the same: ability to think ahead and on one's feet. I just love the twist at the end - caught me offguard anyway: boof! You have a mean left-hook :)) LOL Kate xx

That is an art that the world has never known. More talk, less war.

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
