learning from experience | Sharing what works
A mad beast guards
This song well.
Behind fierce eyes,
A soft melody
Wafts through bars,
A perfumed prison;
A personal Elba .
The glare proclaims:
Keep Out!
Don’t Look!
Stay Away!
While beckoning
With a delicate
Exotic beauty
Which can not be hidden.
The stare that repels
Softens to a contented gaze.
Sleep lioness;
You guard that
Which must be
Released.
Sleep and dream
Of gentle savannas
And molten sunsets.
Sleep.

This past month has been one where I’ve felt a little lost, even while I felt like I knew exactly where I was going. I did all the ‘right’ things; crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s but I felt a little empty and inadequate at the end of every day. Too much on my plate and no brakes to say ‘no.’ I was sorry every week to miss the opportunity to say ‘Hey’ to you guys.
This week has been cold and rainy and a little grey. And this is the week that Annie, our giant chicken, laid her first egg. It was a little alarming for her and her chicken friend, Lucy and they clucked the whole time.
I woke up this morning a little under the weather and the urge to stay in, under covers and just be. And here I am typing away at you guys. That’s cause I’m being led down a rabbit hole – a helpful one and have an urge to share.
Selecting text on my iPhone has always been frustrating, but it’s been especially so since they stopped magnifying the text when you long press it. What I didn’t know, until recently, is that Apple updated the way the cursor works in iOS 12 — two years ago!
None of us is the yogi on the mountain or the unflappable guru. We’ve got lives and reactions to life, families, businesses, emergencies and troubles.
Do you ever have a need to remove formatting from text before pasting it into Word or some other document software? I do this all the time in my design work, and I needed a way to do this in Windows 10.
