やがて戦いは終わり、
もって営みに戻る。

日々を走り、人を愛し、事を起こし、
住みかを建て、命に関わる。

生きているかぎり苦しみは在り、
死したとしても喜びは残る。

人生は単一のものではなく。
過去と未来、連綿と続く道のりを命と云う。

「まあ、そんなワケなんで持っていけ。
　記念品だよ、記念品。いつか忘れ去られるにしても、
　おまえさんはそんだけのコトをしたって思い出にな？
　ま、気に入ったんなら家宝にでもして、
　テメエのガキどもに自慢すりゃあいい」

業を断つばかりでなく。
末永く、その縁を結ぶ為に。

「……にしても、なんだ。
　使われる事のないモンを最高の出来にしちまうとは、
　儂もいよいよ爺さんかねぇ」

The battle eventually ended and he returned to his work.

As long as one is alive, there is suffering. Yet even if one meets death, joy will live on.

Life is not a single point. It is a continuous path that connects the past to the future.

"Well there you have it. Take it. It's a keepsake, a souvenir. Even if we all are forgotten, it'll be a memento that everyone will see and know you did something great. Well, if you've taken a liking to it, make it a family heirloom and show it off to your kids or something."

Sometimes one doesn't need to sever karma, but rather to make enduring connections.

"Honestly. I can't believe I made something magnificent without intending that it be used. Maybe I'm going senile."
