This epic that’s captured hearts
And enchants my soul

The Darkness and the Light
Darkness and the light
Elements of all our lives
Don’t give in to fear
Finding oneself aligned with the light, it’s easy to be afraid of the darkness within us.
Rosa Parks Quote On Fear
A little positive energy as you finish up your work-week.
So, I’m Awake
Yeah, well, I’m awake
Against my better judgement
Sleep’s power is strong
Porn Bots Come And Go
Porn bots come and go
They follow you, then vanish
The internet’s tao
Ah, those followers that appear briefly then vanish abruptly….
Music Speaks
Music speaking clear
Words dancing into my heart
Soul’s revolution
Music has long held a dear spot in my heart. Speaking to my loves and passions, my deepest sadness or griefs, soaring joy or the depths of anguish, music captures it. And I feel connected, not alone.
This Evening’s Haiku : The Night
Beyond the day’s strength
Suddenly the light’s now gone
Darkness’ deceit
Exploring The Microsoft Surface
I’ve had a Surface for several months now. Only recently have I explored this thing in greater depth.
Just discovered the hand writing input option. which I’m using right now. It’s pretty good, in my opinion.There are some things it’s taking me a bit to get used to. One: the way it processes when I get to the end of entry line. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to catch up. On the other side, every so often it will start to process my entry mid-word. Things often get weird. Every so often it will let me keep adding letters. Other times it just stops and gets funky. Probably my learning curve.
Have you spent any time on one of these? What did you think? I actually rather like it. We’ll see. I plan to explore it more.
Reflecting on Seth Godin’s “We Don’t Do Rabbits”
Seth often makes me pause and think. “We don’t do rabbits” has a simple premise? Focus.
A vet struggles to help a rabbit. Their challenge: they don’t know rabbits.
Wouldn’t it be better for everyone, especially the rabbit, it said vet acknowledged this and referred them to a rabbit expert?
Know what you’re good at, and what you’re not. By specializing we expand the quality of our “product”, whatever that may be.
We can’t be everything to everyone. I expect you’ve heard that before. Scattered focus results in weaker/poorer quality. We end up serving no one well. Fear, manifesting as desperation, often drives us to try and please everyone.
I ask myself this: is it better to complete 100 tasks poorly, or one exceptionally?
It’s part of the power of “no”.
On The Road
I’ve long admired that itinerant hippie lifestyle. Driving into town within my VW Van, working for a few months raising money for the next leg of the trip. Spending years driving. Wind in my face, windows down, carefree.
Part of the love lingers on. But I’ve left that notion behind. It really doesn’t match my personality.
I found this series on YouTube. Kombi life features folk who’ve done this. They’ve driven this weathered ol Kombi from Peru to Alaska. Quite impressive.
