Mind of the Warrior
It is in the darkest moments in our lives that our true self shines through. The ability of your heart to notice the beauty within the pain and destruction you were living with tells a story about you. The fact that you were able to put aside the horror surrounding you, the sights, sounds, smells and the feelings inside you and those with you, long enough to notice that which most others would simply pass by, says a lot about who you are. Never underestimate how powerful your true self is. It is in these moments that brought you such pain, that the beauty of your soul is the most evident to those of us with whom you've shared your words.

Re: Good writing, gavelkorbald,
Its amazing the things we notice when the world around us is torn assunder. I also remember a moment when a group of us were standing together, close together...all that opened desert around us. It felt odd, I started looking around and noticed that in the very center of our clustered circle was a small, half-dead weed about nine inches tall. We had all, subconsiously migrated to that spot around it. The only living thing nature had to offer for miles around....we chose to stand next to it without even realising what we were doing. :)

Good writing, gavelkorbald,
I cannot imagine being on a battlefield myself but you have described it well. I think that if I had to be there day in and day out like you and so many others, I would be looking for any sign of life and living like the blade of grass that caught your eye.
