Epic Warriors

Gentleness and care are undervalued virtues that become essential in aftermath and peace. Not all heroism is loud; some heroes heal rather than fight. Being seen is often more valuable than being impressed.

Those who love us speak truth we don't want to hear. Pride makes us fight wars we cannot win. Sometimes the greatest gift is dying before watching the consequences of our failures.

Protection has limits—it requires cooperation from the protected. Fear can override wisdom and lead us to break promises that were keeping us safe. The lines we cross often cannot be uncrossed.
