This is absolutely beautiful calligraphy. You can feel General Yueh Fei's passion and love for his land. The strokes evoke a forcefulness and power of one who lives by the sword. Four simple characters written with such intensity, you can almost see the great hero himself writing the words and feel as he must have felt---knowing that your emperor has betrayed and forsaken you and plans your eventual murder and that you may never see the day your land is recovered from the northern barbarians.
I need to put more passion into my calligraphy. This is the step that transforms mere stroke work into art.
Anyways, today was supposed to be my loner day. Every now and then I just need to get away from friends and do my own thing. I like having this kind of individualism; get away from the crowd. It's so much less noisy. I think everyone needs to be able to live with who they are and be happy about it. Enjoy your own company. I know I can and do. I have plenty of interests and this gives me time to pursue them. Unfortunately (or rather, perhaps an act of some higher power) I was persuaded to go hiking with a large (15+) group of friends on a beautiful day. That was fun too, though I have to say they were hella noisy, so I walked about 5-10 minutes ahead of the whole group. It's so much quieter ahead of the group, and I really got to enjoy the scenery that way. I just hope no one thought I didn't enjoy their company. It's just I didn't want any company today.
