Reflections on the Day 

I spent part of the evening watching the Google IO keynote. Seeing the diversity delighted me. Men, women, Whites, Asians, but I was solidly struck by lack of black people. Now, I was multitasking while watching, and I didn’t watch the full two hour one, opting for an abridged one. So, I might have missed the them. But that’s my big takeaway.

I’ve wondered how to increase diversity in tech. Deliberate action would the best. There’s a wide range of subjectivity to the phrase, which I’ll explore later.

One thing I love about tech: accessibility. I love the tools to bring more people to work, to have access to a living wage.

I’m delighted at the ever-increasing number of folks who are working. Thus is a key promise of tech. And though we’ve come a long way, there’s so much more.
Let’s get to work! Well, in the morning, perhaps.

The Clover Is Blooming

Clover is blooming
Sunlight pushing through the clouds
Springtime’s joy persists

Quote of the Day: Lessons Always Arrive

Our job? Just be focused on the present, on the now. There’s plenty to learn by DOING. 

Anyway, welcome to the middle of the week. Let’s go doing something wonderful!

Your mind is your strength

My mind is my strength
It is all I can control
The root of my soul

This Spring Morning 

This early morning
Birdsong dances in the air
Dawn climbing the trees

Blossoms from Buds

Standing in sunlight
Buds changing into blossoms
Spring’s evolution

The sun is up. It’s time to change the world!

The sun is now up
It’s time to change the world
You are important

There’s so much work to be done to make this world kinder, just and equitable. 

Germs are creeping up on me this evening 

Sitting in darkness
Dreams crowding my awareness
My germs arguing 

Yeah, I’m feeling germs creeping up. Coughing. Sigh. 

Hopefully, a good night’s rest will reset me. 

This morning’s haiku 

The darkness waning 

Hints of blue sky beckoning

This day, beginning 

Tonight’s Haiku: The Rhododendron

Springtime bursting through

Life coming forth boisterously

Sunlight upon dust
