To not drink
a toast to life
is ungrateful.

To not drink
a toast to death
is unbalanced.

Like a swallow
with but one wing,
unable to soar.

About Ben Naga

The Spirit that graces me with its passing has no name and stems not from thoughts and words, though it gathers them up as it flows, but from feeling.

    Each helps you appreciate the other, just as you can’t have one without the other
