A Warrior's Creed
14th Century Samuri: The Book of Runes by Ralph Blum
I have no parents: I make the heavens and earth my parents

I have no home: I make awareness my home

I have no means: I make understanding my means.

I have no principles: I make adaptability to all circumstances my principles

I have no friends: I make my mind my friend

I have no enemy: I make carelessness my enemy

I have no armor: I make benevolence and righteousness my armor.

I have no castle: I make immovable mind my castle

I have no sword: I make absence of self my sword

I have no life or death: I make the tides of breathing my life and death
