Grond

With work on my Online Reporting System at Zak in Asp .Net proceeding rapidly, I thought that it was time to give it a name – Grond. I’m a big fan of Tolkien, and in his book, the Silmarillion, he mentions Grond, as being the Hammer of the Underworld. So now, it’s Grond Online Reporting System. Ha, I’ve created a brand name!

It’s odd. I feel as if I’ve made something that is outside me, and can be referred to by others. This sort of feeling reminds me that one day, I’m actually going to pass into nothing, and all urges to leave something behind, and make a mark, are symptoms of an imperfect acceptance of that simple fact.

Meanwhile, my Tai Chi is doing good. Some peaceful hours in the morning doing it, is really very soothing. Right now, I’m on an up curve. I’m active, I’m creating, and I’m doing things, with not much time in between to think. But sooner or later, this will break. I’ll start getting contemplative, face an existential crisis, and then who knows what direction I will take. I might as well enjoy the up curve while I’m on it.
