Warrior Lover - Origins Episode 18 - Finally Spoken

Having a credential of my own, being on the path to my calling—even when the  path was yet to be fully figured out—gave me an immensity of courage. So much that I had to temper it with humility. With both courage and humility, I reached out to her—in the guise of sharing my milestone. She congratulated me—courteously and measured. I had expected a hint of celebration, but there wasn’t. Anyway.

After some small talk, when the conversation began to stall, I knew it was time to open up. I readied myself to speak what I had restrained for years. I sensed neither anticipation nor resistance from her. Perhaps a trace of caution, but this was not the time to retreat, or hold back, was it? So I spoke, bracing for whatever that may come.

I told her of the admiration I had carried for her all along. Nervously, unable to find other words, I repeated myself, this time with emphasis.

She was silent. A silence that stretched long enough to test my calm. I asked if she understood what I had just said. She took a moment, but affirmed she did—but added that she could not entertain it. I smiled and thanked her for acknowledging my words.

I felt lighter—not because I got the response I had hoped for, but because I had spoken. I had taken a decisive step, moving things to the next level. The ball was rolling now. The rest was in the universe’s hands. And the universe? Always works in my favor, doesn’t it?

What once felt like an unshakable storm, has now settled into a quiet understanding. And now, the path ahead is clear—not weighed down by what was, but strengthened by what I have become. I underwent this transformation—not by myself, but with the compassion, direction, faith and guidance of many people. Masters, co-warriors, friends, family—even opponents and strangers. To them, I’m forever indebted. To all who walked with me in this journey—through its joys and jolts, its fleeting hopes and rocking farewells—I express my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for cheering, for empathizing, and for simply being here. I thank you especially ...

Warrior Lover - Origins - Episode 2 - Into The Academy

Image
In our academy, you see all kinds of students—some masters' favorites, some aspiring to be. I was among the rest, yet I fit into no group. Strolling through the gardens, gazing at flowers, pretending to water the plants... Nothing in particular ever caught my eye. Not until that day! I do not recall the exact feat, but a feared master of the academy chose, for the first time, to recognize and applaud me before all. Just as overwhelm was about to set in, amidst the waves of applause, one stood out above all—hers! That brilliance in her eyes, the measured yet visible smile, the genuinely appreciative glance—drew not just my attention, but my entire being!
