For MONK

[Dimeola]

The sword is a sacred extension of the warrior. It is his mystic soul and yet is often part of his God. Perhaps it`s what connects him to his God. It signifies his station and aspirations in life. It is the part of him that enacts his courage and resolve to make a place in this world. And woe to the warrior who neglects, loses, or lets his sword be stolen. `In this world of vagaries, ours should be the way of discipline`....temptation rages and seduces. he who succumbs is lost. Warriors wandering looking for a lost sword or a sword of fable or promise is a likely metaphor of a warrior`s struggle within and in his (or her) own life. The object to not `cut` the opponent but to `cut` one`s own ego
