I tried to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes.

If you're going to care about the fall of the sparrow you can't pick and choose who's going to be the sparrow. It's everybody.

Shambhala warrior
If victory is the notion of no enemy, then the whole world is a friend. That seems to be the warrior’s philosophy. The true warrior is not like somebody carrying a sword and looking behind his own shadow, in case somebody is lurking there. That is the setting-sun warrior’s point of view, which is an expression of cowardice. The true warrior always has a weapon, in any case … The definition of warriorship is fearlessness and gentleness. Those are your weapons. The genuine warrior becomes truly gentle because there is no enemy at all.
(Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche)
