To Kim
There is no one else I could dedicate a book called The Way of the Warrior than to you, my Love.
We have journeyed together for over thirty-five years, and from the days of our youth we have traveled to unknown lands, walked into untold mysteries, and chosen to live in absurd risk and unexpected adventure.
You personify courage and strength.
You defied the odds of birth and status.
You rose out of poverty and hardship.
You refused to allow how your story began to determine how it would end.
You chose a path that no one had walked before you.
You refused to surrender your dreams though no one fought for you or with you.
You had the faith of a child and the valor of a warrior.
When you were afraid of the dark, it only made you walk courageously into the light.
Yet you somehow knew that though you were alone, you were not forgotten.
You carried your dreams with such passion and determination that you were destined to live them.
You believed in a future no one else could see or even fathom.
You fought for your future.
Now you fight for the future of those who desperately need a heroine.
You journey the earth to find those who need to know that they are not forgotten or alone.
You fight for love, and love is your greatest weapon.
Your path is the way of the warrior.
It has been my joy to have walked it with you.
People search their entire lives for what I have found in you.
You are the better side of me.
Always.
Its probably not a good idea for a writer to reveal to his readers where his ideas come from, but in this case, I am making an exception. I could try to give you context, but Im not sure I can fully explain what came to meor maybe more precisely, how it came to me. I was driving through Los Angeles on a seemingly average day.
I should preface what I am about to say with the fact that I have a wildly vivid imagination that is informed by a lifetime of daydreaming. More often than not, I find myself in unexpected places, talking to people Im fairly certain I have never met in real life but who feel very real to me. Sometimes Im in the curious situation where my imagination takes the lead and I feel more like an innocent bystander.
So on that day as I was driving through Los Angeles, I suddenly heard a voice inside my head whispering a thought that had never occurred to me. I share it with you just as I heard it: The warrior is not ready for battle until they have come to know peace. This is the way of the warrior. What I heard felt like more than just an insight; it felt like an invitation. And this invitation, as strange as it sounds, was the beginning of this book.
The words were not without personality. It was as if I somehow dropped into an ancient time. I could see the warriors face and every wrinkle that defined a lifetime of both struggle and wisdom. In that moment, I had been transplanted to sixteenth-century Japan and was listening to the counsel of an ancient samurai trying to teach his young apprentice the difference between the way of violence and the way of the warrior.
Its easy enough for me to understand some of the experiences that had informed this moment in my imagination. Probably my favorite film of all time is the Seven Samurai, written and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The movie is set in sixteenth-century Japan, where farmers from a small village are being oppressed by a band of roving bandits. Its a story about how one retired samurai, long past his prime, gathers together six other samurai to help him defend this poor village. This film came out four years before I was born, and although I grew up without a knowledge of all the heroes written about in the Bible, it was stories like this one that placed within me a heroic narrative. Throughout my life, I have always admired the courage and honor of Kambei Shimada, the first of the seven samurai.
It was years later that I sat mesmerized watching for the fourth or fifth time the 2002 release of the Chinese film Hero. Through the breathtaking cinematography, I felt transported into the world of a hero whose name is literally Nameless. I had a similar experience only a year later as the only person in a theater who could not speak Chinese, watching the premiere of
