The old samurai had a phrase for it (the pen and the sword, walked as one road) and the greatest of them meant it literally: men who could take your head or write you a poem, depending on the afternoon. I'll never manage either at their level, but the principle scales down beautifully. Morning pages, evening training. A library card and a gym membership, held by the same hand. The kanji runs tall on this one because the idea deserves the whole spine. Culture without strength is a rumor; strength without culture is a hazard. Both, or you're only half done.

Printed on the Comfort Colors 1717, a garment-dyed heavyweight with that broken-in feel from day one.
