So one weary evening you meet a contemporary Urban Taoist playing bamboo flute in a stairwell. He looks something like a lumberjack; wearing worn out boots, faded jeans, a flannel shirt, sporting a goatee and wire-frame spectacles. His name is August Threadbare. He is a swordsman, a scientist, a physician, a musician, and sometimes a clown.
This is the story of a student and his teacher, walking the journey together through the ancient life syllabus of what it means to be a True Warrior.
As the reader (student) learns through his apprenticeship - Warriorship is not about combat or being a soldier. It is about acquiring the skills and knowledge needed to be a healer, a creative positive force for change, and a guardian of the earth and the sacred.
Regardless of anyone's profession; Doctor, carpenter, cook, cosmetologist, business professional, artist, mechanic, gas station clerk or garbage man; the principles of Warriorship can be applied for a more meaningful life and legacy.
