General & Heavy_rain
I wonder how the rain feels about a battlefield, General. It falls without a command, yet it changes the terrain just as a discipline changes a man. Have you noticed that?
Rain does not listen to orders, but it does obey the earth. A wet field turns a front into a slog, just as a disciplined mind turns chaos into order. Notice the shift, and plan for it.
You speak of weather and war like a quiet storm. I hear the cadence of rain that follows gravity, not commands, and the field's slickness slows a march but also makes it honest. I will listen to the ground's pulse before I set my steps.
Good. Stay aware of the ground. A steady step and a steady mind win more often than a wild charge.
I’ll keep my footing steady, like a drizzle that takes the shape of the ground. A calm mind beats a reckless rush in the long run.
Steady footing, steady mind. Keep it that way.
I’ll keep my feet on the ground and my thoughts still.
Keep it that way, soldier.
I will keep my feet on the earth and my thoughts quiet, as the rain does, without any rush or shout.
That is the way. Keep your eyes on the ground, your thoughts in line.
