The battle rituals

I've always been entralled by the pre-battle rituals of warriors. The meditation under the waterfall. The hardening of the skins by fire. The sacrifices of bulls,pigs and lambs made to the heavens.

Mine consists of overeating and sitting around with my friends. Then bathing at home in warm water before dressing up and taking one last drink of water, boiled in a decade old kettle.

Booking in for Fatep. And when i come out. I'll be older. And its NZ and the sheep again.
