I'm a rather big Stephen King fan. A fan in the sense that I've read almost everything he's ever written more than once, and everything he's ever released in Australia... more than once. As I was hunting around for the contents of the previous blog entry I came across the Gunslinger Litany. I had this tucked away on a CD from years back.

It always reminds me of Clint Eastwood, or rather the character of Roland reminds me of Clint Eastwood (greatest western gunslinger ever created..You can thank me later Clint). Can you imagine a world where everyday people took this type of thing seriously? I can, I look forward to it. To me it seems a much simpler life.

The Gunslinger Litany
( ...as recited by Roland of Gilead, last of the Gunslingers)

I do not aim with my hand.
He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my Eye.

I do not shoot with my hand.
He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my Mind.

I do not kill with my hand.
He who kills with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my Heart.
