The Lonewalker’s Code

Love in secret. Suffer in silence. Dance in the shadows. Pray alone. Scream through pillows. Mute your hopes. Obscure your intent. Blunt your remarks. Stay your sword. Sharpen your pen. Dig your toes. Lift your eyes. Dry your humor. Shed no tears. Steel your heart. Release your fist. Harden your will. Soften your tongue. Let everything in. Let nothing show. Gaze quietly. Smile inside. Be generous with hello. Be gracious with goodbye. Trust in the gods. Watch your back. Speak your mind. Choose your words. Think twice. Move without preamble. Pick your spot. Befriend the world. Love yourself. Touch everything once. Let everything go.

  1. Simply brillant, sir Alistair. I think the new year needs us back with our quills and inks. I know i shall finally revisit the soft places of dream and cast them in stone once again.

  2. As beautiful as it was the first time I read it. I shall print this out and post it somewhere I can always see it so I might never forget.
