The Lover And the Warrior
In Marital is Martial In Love is War and in War is Love
War is unwavering allegiance to the cause and belief in its justness
Love is unwavering allegiance to the mate and belief in the sanctity of the union
Only the Goddess of Love may subdue the God of War
Romance is the Love of Fire
Kindness is the Love of Peace
Far-reaching Benevolence is the Love Beyond that takes Tireless Work
All of these Loves are Worthwhile
War is a monster but occasionally a monstrous tool to heal great ills
May we know Love deeply and know War only indirectly -
Better Not at All
Love risks emotional stability War risks bodily injury and death
In a Safer and Saner World the Spirit of the Warrior may live in other Realms
In Duty, In Honor, In Sanity, In Selfless Service, In Cultivation of Benevolent Habits
So too may the Spirit of the Lover live in other Realms
In Offering of Friendship and Cheer, In Companionship, In Compromise and
Reconciliation, In Consecrating the Neutral and the Foe, In Smiles, In Hugs
May the Warrior Be Prepared for all Contingencies
May the Lover Leap into all Opportunities
May Chivalry and Kindness and Great Joy pervade the Glistening World
