 had a dream i was training to sword fight with Aragorn. it felt real. the blade was brutal and sharp. but i was getting excited at the same time for the fight that was about to come. Then he walked in to the room, and slowed down like he could sense something. i said, “you can feel it in the air”. He drew his sword, and stood ready. i woke up. 
still feels real, and like some shit’s about to go down. 🤺🤷

 That is intense and badass.

One of my favorite movies is Rob Roy. Many times I’ve meditated on how humans used to fight to death 1 on 1 with swords and how unfathomably intense those fights must’ve been. 

Closest I’ve ever been is just a fist fight and even that your mind enters a pretty remarkable state of instinctual clarity and focus. Facing a sword on the other side would ramp that up by 100x. Crazy shit.
