on new name

Two days ago, this author sang his death song and perished during death meditation. He died as would a hero going home, as Chief Tecumseh likely urged those facing death to do. From Great Spirit, this author received new name, which he guards closely and cannot share with just any average bloke, so don't ask. Some things he lost, others he gained, including a piece of soul lost during a previous, unassisted and unguided Voyage Across the Terrible Threshold, that place where this life stops and the next begins. The old life is now behind him, and the first steps on his new journey are begun. Huzzah, mahalo, and aho.
