Which way did he go? Which way did he go? (from my fuzzy memory cartoon dialogue)

Great!  I’ve got the blog created and I’ve moved the main page from the old design into the main page in WordPress, checked the links…….and…..drum roll please……all the content is no where to be found.

Did you wipe it when you installed WordPress?  Hmmm….don’t think so….I looked at the directory before I installed WordPress and there were no files. There were no files?!?!?!?  Wonder why that didn’t grab my attention……

Ok, so now to dig through the WayBack archive and my myriads of file backups…..deep breathe….

And all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. Yes, Julian it shall. Navajo and Tibetan sand paintings are intentionally given to the earth and the sea.

Times I can’t see the forest for the trees…

The initiation of this web site’s migration into WordPress was a gift – the gift of the right question. Suddenly, the sun burst through the clouds and there in front of me was my forest. I’m homesick for web site technology, the creativity of it, the challenge of it, the elegance of open source software like WordPress.

Today is the day I begin working on my forest. And become less concerned (translate: less controlling) of the trees in other forests….

Where in your life are you focusing too much on trees in other forests and neglecting your own forest?
