When Sage and Warrior pull apart
The Warrior wants to act. The Sage wants to think first. When something feels like a threat, the Warrior says, "We move now." The Sage says, "Let us look closer." To the Warrior, the Sage looks frozen. To the Sage, the Warrior looks rash.
How they help each other
Together they make steady courage: you act firmly, and you act on the right thing. The Warrior brings the will. The Sage points it at the right target.
One small thing to try
Before you act, let the Sage speak. Before you think for too long, let the Warrior set a deadline. Each one needs the other.
