I’m seeing lovely photos of flowers, art, Prof Sam Lawler’s baby goats in my feed. Meanwhile, I have a discount milk chocolate moose from IKEA (Belöning).

#mastodharma Chapter 2 - Inconceivable Skill in Liberative Technique
I see Wallace Shawn embodying Vimalakirti. It is an illusion, so I set it down.
There are places and situations your monk oughtn’t go. That’s where V comes in, (not makes but) is himself at home, and clears the air.
His charisma sets you at ease. You have no clue how or why, but when V is around and after he’s moved on you’re lighter, thoughtful, a better person. Life is better. You can make change for good in yourself and the world around you.
One day you hear V hasn’t been doing so well. When you make time to check in on him, maybe bring him soup, you learn all kinds of folks appreciate him. And it feels right to hang with him and people across communities.
You can’t describe this to your buddies in a way that makes sense. They haven’t met the man yet. So you say “start the poker game without me. I got obligations tonight.”

If you’re in the data centre business, it may be useful to build redundant services using separate physical hardware.
Monitoring visible to the client, alerts, and signed SLAs could also help your operations teams. I’d say your reputation as well, but why bother.

@sil I am left handed and practiced calligraphy in my youth. The challenges are not entirely aligned with right handed assumptions about lefties. https://lefthanded.io/best-left-handed-calligraphy-sets/ is a good overview of challenges and resources for calligraphy from a southpaw perspective.

I know #Mastodharma posting usually starts later on Saturdays but I just want to say the imagery of the tongues and the rays shooting out gives me King of All Cosmos from Namco’s Katamari Damacy. I still have the Star Light Star Bright theme bouncing around my head.
