Life's Long Journey

With the Spring semester, the DoIT Help Desk is once again flooded with calls for help. With a break in the action, I was sacrified from phones to run out and grab dinner for the Green Team from the Mediterranean Cafe. With a painful first step outside, I was struck by such strong winds and snow. This is Wisconsin.

With such winter conditions I gave Kelly a ride home after her shift, but by then the weather conditions had tamed.

Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden. Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not. Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair. When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through. Forbearance is the root of quietness and assurance forever. Look upon the wrath of the enemy. If thou knowest only what it is to conquer, and knowest not what it is to be defeated, woe unto thee; it will fare ill with thee. Find fault with thyself rather than with others.
-Ieyasu Tokugawa



A Haiku by Matsuo Basho

No blossoms and no moon,
and he is drinking sake
all alone!
