The Village That Lived Inside a Breath
Existence Within a Moment
A mystical village existed inside the duration of a single inhale. People lived entire lifetimes, unaware that their world ended with every exhale of the sleeping giant who unknowingly breathed them. When one villager discovered the truth, he told no one. Instead, he sought meaning inside an impermanent universe. When the breath ended, he smiled. “What is brief can still be vast.”

4-H-N heard not a word about her secret mission around Headquarters over the following days, so had to conclude either Mini-Flash Phytolith hadn’t been listening in after all, or she’d misjudged him.

When Hobbies Become Life What Happens?
As we live our lives and do the things we enjoy, what do we call it? Do we call the things that we enjoy in life something like hobbies or are hobbies just a form of relaxation for us to clear our minds and not think of all the living we have to do to make our lives what they are for ourselves? Now you might not all understand that so what that means is, doing the things that make our lives enjoyable for ourselves, yes we all have to work to make money to live but life shouldn’t be all about working. If our lives are all about working, where do our hobbies come in? Or do they come in at all when that happens? Usually if we work ourselves to the bone we can feel it. However what happens we make our lives hobbiesque and live that way, do our hobbies become life? Yes they do and when that happens how does that make us feel? Well it makes us feel good and that life is livable and fun versus all work and no play. Not that hobbies and living is all about play but we can live our lives on our own terms this way.
