Descending Sunlight


the grace of the sun 
as it descends through the leaves
greeted by flowers

A morning meditation on fear

A morning poem

	my fears whisper 
just below the birdsong
through gritted teeth

A poetic meditation from this morning. I’m up earlier than I’d planned, with a racing mind. Seeking to make world practical and free of risks. A boring life that would be methinks.

Sunlit Flowers

Flowers in sunlight

reaching for the sky
to feed upon the sunlight
soon the petals fall

Good Morning, Everyone

tell me what it is
that brings joy into your life?
fill your days with that

May your day fill you with delight and joy.

The Blessings Of Night

the blessings of night
dusk's orange skies gently fade
ah, tranquility!

Dad Joke of the Day

Let’s start the day with a bad…er…dad joke

So a duck walks into a pharmacy and says “Give me some chap-stick… and put it on my bill”

This one just quacked me up, though some might be upset at the fowl language.

Thanks for humoring my humor. I much appreciate it.

Song of Sunlight

admist the flowers 
dancing upon the petals
the song of sunlight

A Cartoon for your Friday Edification

Pearls Before Swine comic

A friend of mine posted this cartoon in my office’s breakroom. Seems rather apropos, no?

If you’re not familiar with Pearls Before Swine, check them out.

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Drink Water Project

Today’s “50 Projects In 50 Days” project: Drink Water. Always good advice, but that’s not what this is. This one lets the user click on the number of glasses of water one has consumed, and gives you back an animated graphic. You can check it out here.

After each project, I feel more confident with my coding. However, my questions grow. For instance, I wonder, though, how much more of vanilla web dev (html, css, javascript) I want to explore. Do I want to focus exclusively on web development? Or do I want to add the almighty Python to my list of languages? I’m unsure.

Additionally, I still see my super-power as a project manager/coordinator. As much as I’m enjoying coding, will that ever be the place I make the biggest impact? I’m unsure. Funny, in a way, that after all this web development work, recruiters till reach out to me regarding my executive assistant skill set. For a dying industry (exec support), I’m getting a LOT of interest in this skillset. Such is life, I guess. Keep growing, keep learning, see what comes.

Sunflowers in Autumn
