Wanderings 01

It is but the arrogance of man that separates himself from nature,
Nature which does not shy from cruelty or grace,
Our gift of thumbs and storytelling are extensions of nature, and everything they make. 

Your weapons should not be flaunted, but should be displayed casually.
Fear lurks within the mysterious, preying upon unconscious worry,
Turning tools into imagined tragedy.
One must never defang himself lest he wish to never eat by his own hand again;
The natural right of all living things. 

Forsake self, but do not forsake chivalrous measure.
Walk with honor for the world and you will honor it well.
Remain centered and the way appears firm and clear. 

Swing first with your smile, second with your manners, third with your wit.
