Transition


When the cosmos at last recalls components it had loaned me, and the pull on inner quantum space of dark matter's gravity becomes far too compelling, I must make the final journey. Stay the requiem for those who care, don’t chant your prayers for me: my Heaven has been here and now, with reason my Holy See. I’ve savoured life with gusto, proud, and superstition-free. I’ve drunk of life’s heady wine, through seasons glad and tragic, but dealt with it all in my own way, reasoned, but idiosyncratic. I pass, having fully lived this moment of wonder and magic.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
