"But, but--you said we had to use magic--" Amanita began.
"No, I didn't," said Granny.
"But anyone could have done that," said Magenta.
"Yes, but that's not the point," said Granny. "The point is that you didn't."
Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

“Observing water and its journey in nature is one of the most peaceful and fascinating diversions. It's interesting to see how streams decide where to go. There is no indecision, there is no hesitation, it simply flows. I find that water simply finds it's own way and path. It decides where it goes without force. Water find's its own way, it is its own force and moves around resistance. It journeys along the path of least resistance. It flows, it bends, it wanders on its own. It's flexible, spontaneous, evasive and goes with the flow. While water trusts its own journey, where it flows it knows not...
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”

The Water's Wisdom: A Meandering Arroyo's Tale
-----------------------------
A bubbling stream through mountains flows, A winding arroyo's timeless show. With water bubbles that dance and play, A story unfolds, in a magical way.
They follow the path of least resistance, A lesson in life's profound existence. Adapting to the landscape they traverse, With resilience, they flow and disperse.
Through valleys, canyons, and rocky bends, They navigate, with curves and blends. Embodying nature's unwavering grace, Teaching us to follow life's own pace.
They never fight, nor do they resist, But flow with ease, and never insist. They teach us to let go and surrender, To life's twists and turns, in a graceful splendor.
In their fluid motion, there's wisdom profound, For us to embrace, and always keep around. To be like water, adaptable and free, To go with the flow, in perfect harmony.
To let go of resistance and trust the way, To navigate challenges, come what may. To be resilient, in the face of strife, And find our strength, in the flow of life.
Like water, we can be gentle and strong, And navigate life's journey, along and along. To embrace change, with an open heart, And let our spirit flow, in every part.
For in the arroyo's tale, we can find, The water's wisdom, so pure and kind. To be more like water, with adaptable grace, Going with the flow, in life's embrace.
So let us learn from the arroyo's flow, To be resilient, wherever we go. To follow the path of least resistance, And let life's beauty be our existence.
For in the water's wisdom, we can find, A timeless truth, so pure and refined. To be like water, in our journey through life, Adaptable, resilient, flowing with delight.

My dad has an old hard drive. Two Firewire ports, an eSATA port and a “Hi-Speed 2.0 USB” port. He wants to get all the data transferred to a drive with more modern connections.
I have a computer with SATA ports that I have no emotional attachment to I’m letting them borrow. They need an adapter that can’t get there before I leave.
They are quite low-tech, so I’ll need a constant visual to make sure they’re doing things correctly. They have no headset and the computer has no internal mic, so remote connection is the best option.
It cannot connect to WiFi remotely, so it needs a direct connection to their modem.
I gave up on Windows years ago, and it would be too much of a hassle to get set up on there anyway, so it has Linux Mint instead. My mom claims she needs a "backup computer," so this looks like the best way to introduce her to Linux.
So, our path of least resistance is currently, using an eSATA-to-SATA cable, connected to a workstation with its top popped off, itself sitting under the modem in their kitchen, with Linux Mint, that they’ll connect to via PuTTY while they have a video call.
When you’re the only comp sci grad out to second cousins, expect to get called upon for this sort of thing.

The Path of Least Resistance
I’ve realized I’ve begun to base my life around how many days until my next day off. I was just off a day. My next day off is in three days. I literally just had a day off. The fact that I am at the phase, or point or stage or whatever of my life that I am basing my life around when I don’t have to work is disappointing. Starting the countdown over again after a day off. I do not work the same…

My perfectionist ways always stop me from opening up, being vulnerable and making mistakes in front of others. It’s so draining and it’s caused so much resistance and it’s halting my desire to have the relationship I want and to even consistently have a career as a life/manifestation coach. I’m lacking creativity, energy and spontaneity. I’m moving out of fear.
It’s almost like I’m trapped inside my own prison, even though I have the key. That’s what makes it so frustrating and makes me come down hard on myself.
Each day is a practice of consciously choosing not to play into this pattern of perfectionism. Observing the fear and letting it wash over me instead of sticking to me like a stain. An example is sharing with you this vulnerable and very real fear I’m moving through.
It’s a bit efforting… my nervous system can only take so much shifting and pattern breaking in a day 😮‍💨😅 but little my little I’m experiencing my freedom and success. Its getting easier and I’m proud of myself for the steps I take, no matter how small they may seem.
