The warrior knows that sometimes the combat is interrupted. It is no use forcing the struggle; one must be patient, wait for the forces to confront each other once again.
In the silence of the battlefield, listen to your heartbeat. Note how tense it is. That it is afraid.
The warrior takes inventory of his life: he sees that the sword is sharp, the heart satisfied, and faith fires his soul. He knows that maintenance is just as important as action.
There is always something missing. The warrior makes the most of moments in which time slows down, to better equip himself.
