When A Warrior Learns To

Nobody Knows Who I Am Or What I Do. Not Even I. Don Juan Matus

For Me The World Is Weird Because It Is Stupendous, Awesome, Mysterious, Unfathomable; My Interest Has Been To Convince You That You Must Assume Responsibility For Being Here, In This Marvelous World, In This Marvelous Desert, In This Marvelous Time. I Want To Convince You That You Must Learn To Make Every Act Count, Since You Are Going To Be Here For Only A Short While, In Fact, Too Short For Witnessing All The Marvels Of It.

My Worrying, For Instance, Was A Scene In Which I Looked At Myself While I Had The Sensation Of Being Boxed In. I Call That Worrying, It Has Happened To Me A Number Of Times After That First Time.

Let's Say That When Every One Of Us Is Born We Bring With Us A Little Ring Of Power. That Little Ring Is Almost Immediately Put To Use. So Every One Of Us Is Already Hooked From Birth And Our Rings Of Power Are Joined To Everyone Else's. In Other Words, Our Rings Of Power Are Hooked To The Doing Of The World In Order To Make The World.
