I like to set as the desktop background for my computer screen an image of whatever my mind is focussing on or thinking through at the present time.
For a long time I had a beautiful photo of the interior of Innermost House.
Sometimes I’ve had photos of Amish life (though I've think they've changed the website settings so you can't download them any more).
Most recently I had the picture of St Joseph that I posted here yesterday. Before that I had a lovely calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh – this one:
Today I have made an image file of a snippet of Rudyard Kipling’s poetry, and set that as my desktop background:
And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
It so perfectly expresses something that feels very important and basic and essential to me.

This is a photo of the gaps. I still have this CD case, and it still is substantially full, but what I have now is what remains of a severely pruned collection. I gave away two small cases full, and in this big one there are now many gaps, two of which you can see at the bottom right here.
Another spork. I was so captivated by them when first I found them, I bought four in different colours, sure that they would be so useful for us. How wrong can you be?
