I'm a middle-aged nobody breathing one day at a time in Ontario, Canada.

This tiny corner of the Internet is an outlet for unmasking random thoughts and creations surrounding life in general, adventures in budō, and any other topics that come to a ridiculous mind.

As it Should Be

A little more time
A pause
Life on hold
Pause, pause, pause
Many breaths

With enough breaths
A day has passed
And death is once again
As it should be  

Reviled 

September 1 – 4, 2025

Often, we just need to wait it out.

August 31, 2025 “If you were to die tonight, right now, that beautiful water and birdsong could be your last music.” “So to die now could be a beautiful end, but once gone, I’ll never hear that magnificent peace ever again.” “The world falls silent for us all one day, for each of us in our own time. One day, those birds will be gone too, along with any who could appreciate them. Neither existence nor non-existence truly hold anything of import. Not until the end of days, that is.”
