About / the sentence
A pause. Not a full stop.
The written brand is ; one more page… The spoken name is One More Page. Every mark in that sentence has a job.
The opening semicolon
The unseen words before the semicolon represent the life already lived. The semicolon is the place where a sentence could have ended with a period but continued instead. It does not erase what came before or insist that everything is resolved.
One more page
“One more page” is the next achievable piece, not a demand for a perfect ending. It can hold a memory, a hard truth, gratitude, uncertainty or an ordinary day. The core message is simple: Your story is still being written.
The closing ellipsis
The ellipsis leaves space for everything still unwritten. Together, the opening semicolon and closing ellipsis make the brand a sentence that is intentionally unfinished: ; one more page…
ܡܚܪThe side mark / tomorrow
Carry tomorrow quietly.
ܡܚܪ is the Syriac-script Aramaic word being used here for “tomorrow.” It is kept right-to-left and is never mirrored. The small mark is intended for the side of the headwear, beside the commanding semicolon at the front.
Edmonton roots
Mat was one of six people involved in creating Edmonton’s semicolon tattoo event. He also created Edmonton’s Bridge of Life event. One More Page grows from that history, while avoiding claims about attendance, outcomes, partnerships or endorsement that have not been established here.
Faith and welcome
Mat’s Christian faith is an honest part of the founder story. It is not a condition of participation and not a test anyone has to pass. One More Page welcomes people of every faith and no faith. There is no required way for a person’s story to sound.
What this is not
One More Page is not a crisis service, therapist, treatment provider or promise of a clinical outcome. It is an initiative in development around storytelling, headwear, access to verified human resources and public accountability.
