The dim candlelight revealed pale white skin and a small tattoo of a flower near her private garden area. Yes, Susan was accurate. Grace was well groomed. In fact, the entire grassland had been mowed. I assume, in part at least, this was to show off the flower tattoo. Her midsection was somewhat flabby but nicely sized breasts made this forgivable. It was tough getting one of those things completely in my mouth but I tried.
I could not go on like this . . . I pulled out a 22 revolver I kept in my desk drawer . . . I placed my finger on the trigger and pressed the nozzle into my temple. Just one squeeze of the trigger will take away the pain.
“I
teach people how to live life as a warrior,” he answered with a proud and
distinct voice.
“What
do you do, show people how to live on wild plants and kill deer with a bow and
arrow?”
I was being purposely unpleasant in the hope he would go
away.
“No,
no, no!” he smiled, completely ignoring my attempts to discourage him. “A warrior is one who takes complete
responsibility for his or her life.
A warrior is concerned with self mastery.”
This guy must be a nut.
She looked very young, perhaps a teenager eighteen or
nineteen years old. She had brown
hair, brown eyes, and denim shorts cut along the bottom to reveal the lower
part of her derriere and cut randomly along the sides to reveal she wore no
under garments. Her top was
covered, just barely, with a cut off white tee shirt that failed to hide the
bottom part of her smallish but perky breasts. Her nipples pressed against the shirt like two pencil
erasers and a gold belly button ring wonderfully highlighted her perfectly flat
stomach.
“I
think we are now the hunted,” I remarked to Leo.
“Turn the tables on her,” he suggested slyly.
…Leo advised, “Anytime you experience the temptation to wallow in self pity, remember … the lesson of Death… You now know how to defeat your worst enemy. When we face our inevitable death, the trivial things that encourage self pity quickly disappear.”
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Helen.”
“Ah,
so you are appropriately named after a beautiful princess who launched a
thousand ships to rescue her.” Her
face broke out into another big grin.
“My name is Tony.”
“Hi
Tony,” she said with a sweet smile that hinted of shyness.
I removed her shirt. My right hand then unclasped the bra in the back and my left hand pushed the straps off her shoulders. I began to stroke the soft flesh of her breasts by just barely touching them with the back of my hand. I then turned my wrist and cupped one of her breasts in my palm massaging it while gently manipulating the nipple with two of my fingers. My breathing quickened while I pondered how far she would allow me to go.
On Being a Warrior
“When your actions and thoughts lead you to harmony with yourself, others, and the universe, you are acting as a warrior. When your actions or thoughts lead to harming yourself or others or result in disharmony, then you are acting like a jackass. In your life, you will find yourself wavering from warrior to jackass and back again.”
Balance
“A warrior strives to mirror the balance of the universe. Therefore, he does not try to eliminate or diminish the light or the dark side. Instead, he strives to interact with each in harmony. If a person attempts to permanently align themselves with one side of the force, the counter force shall destroy them.”
Leo told me during our sessions that I emotionally
internalized the stern father figure within me. This is one of the reasons I was impatient with other people
and myself he explained. That
internalized figure was one of the demons Leo said I must defeat to become a
warrior.
“... Choose your path and choose well. The wrong path leads to
destruction. The right path, the
way of the warrior, leads to healing and redemption. No matter how you have suffered, no matter what you have
ever done, you have the opportunity to create the life you desire from this
time forward.”
“Your
words give me comfort and hope Leo.
But, when I leave here, I will be going back to the same world I find so
troubling. I then slip back into
old habits and behavior. It’s very
discouraging.”
“That,”
said Leo pausing for emphasis, “is the struggle of a warrior. You either accept the challenge of the
struggle or surrender to it…”
