The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I saw that this morning - RIP, Captain Sir Tom Moore.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I saw this story this week. I saw a pic of him being knighted by the Queen, he was old at the time. RIP.

He was just knighted in July 2020, so yes. Very old.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Awful news, but at least he lived a full life. RIP
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well that sucks. Sad ending to what has been quite a year for him.

I guess to make a positive from a sad situation it is a timely reminder that though the end seems in sight its far from over.
