In the midst of battle, he does not have time to think of the enemy's blows, and so he uses his instinct and obeys his angel. in times of peace, he deciphers the signs that God sends him.

But the warrior knows that intuition is God's alphabet and he continues listening to the wind and talking to the stars. Paulo Coelho
