Warrior of Light

Every Warrior of Light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every Warrior of Light has, at some time int the past, lied or betrayed someone.

Every Warrior of Light has trodden a path that was not his.

Every Warrior of Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.

Every Warrior of Light has, at least once, believed that he was not a Warrior of Light.

Every Warrior of Light has failed in his spiritual duties.

Every Warrior of Light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no'.

Every Warrior of Light has hurt someone he loved.

That is why he is a Warrior of Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.

~ Paulo Coelho

At various times over the course of my life I have considered myself a Warrior of Light. Not that I believe I can do something others are incapable of doing ~ or that I can save myself from the Darkness, much less anyone else. It's that I believe in the Light and the power and constancy of that Light. My faith in my own capacity to be a warrior wavers, yet what brings me back is the simple presence of the Light and its belief in me.

What about you? What do you believe about yourself and your capabilities? Are you ready to be a Warrior? If so, a Warrior for what?
