I'd like to formally announce that I have officially joined the #Fosstodon moderation team! I never imagined I'd be in this position, but I'm excited to help maintain a healthy and safe community. I'm eager to support a space where people can share their lives and interests and engage in meaningful interactions with like-minded individuals!

When the coffee slows down at Noi I get to watch the little tapestry outside. I purposefully will go slow. Will keep my comfy chair. Will write some. I have my kindle with me. Regretfully somewhere I stopped reading on some story I got a free ebook online. A classic thing if I remember. I must start reading. It’s like saying I must stop drinking beer. Neither thing happens. Meanwhile it’s coffee and #siemreap and #cambodia and right outside life goes on.

#today is June and rainy season gonna start any time now. So this morning I will head out for coffee downtown and a nice walk. One day soon I believe we will go to Angkor or my wife says a new Khmer temple complex I have not been to yet. I get in for free thanks to the Kingdom giving barang here over 2 years free annual passes.

Have yourself a day. Or a night. I'll just do some coffee.

On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
"Now is it true, or is it not,
"That what is which and which is what?"
On Tuesday, when it hails and snows,
The feeling on me grows and grows
That hardly anybody knows
If those are these or these are those.
On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it's true
That who is what and what is who.
On Thursday, when it starts to freeze
And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees,
How very readily one sees
That these are whose--but whose are these?

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Looking back at the month, I've left so much undone. Things I wanted to do.

Perhaps just things I wanted to be done by now but, as a friend pointed out earlier, I'm the one in the kayak. If nobody's paddling, it shouldn't be surprising that I'm not going very far, very fast.

There's a kind of peace in the drifting.

Watching the sky. Feeling the water.

It just doesn't get me where I want to go.

May your journey be fruitful, however far you go #today
