Making Computer Systems Behave Themselves
Found this mushroom on one of my walks last week. Edited the photo as well as created the design in Adobe Spark. Font: Lora.

This poem is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge.
In this age of rage and horror, I offer a few counterpoints of kindness and beauty.

That video makes me think of this character from Princess Mononoke.
a new day begins
underneath my feet I hear
freshly fallen leaves

I can SO relate to this xkcd comic right now.
I’ve dealt with this a lot over the years. In 2020 this has seriously challenged me. I do try to make sure my contact list has notes about that, my system is…incomplete.
Being a good networker (which is, really, being a good friend) involves respecting people’s preferences. I have friends who HATE Facebook, or Twitter, or are not on Instagram, or who are only on Instagram, or who loathe email…we can continue on with this. Little notes go a long way with this. But it requires time, which is on the rare side right now.
now laden by rain
bowed by gravity’s demands
longing for sunlight
Saw this flower on one of my recent walks. The rain had it bowed over. This haiku came forth.
now laden by rain
bowed by gravity’s demands
longing for sunlight
as the sunlight wanes
the sunflower sings boldly
a gentle wind blows
