Stuff Breaks. Surely, it does.

No jokes about calling me, “Shirley.”

That would be a:

Faux pas literally meaning “false step.”

What do you do when it happens and you do not really know why?

If you knew it was you and what it was, you could, possibly, fix it.

If you knew it was someone else and what it was, you could ask them to fix it.

But some things are not fixable.

So, you step back and learn from them. You also seek greater principles through them and apply them.

You also write about them as you reflect upon them for the benefit of those who derive benefits from the things you write and they read.

I am not sure what happened to “Music of the Heart. and some other pages I created. The whole batch disappeared.

Now, I can moan about it or make accusations, or I can adapt and figure something else out.

Yes, it was a lot of work building these pages and gaining some following and will be more work, but I am going to find a place to curate the music I love, and you love.

I spent a few days stewing, conniving and trying to fix things. It is now time to move on,

Neither I nor you have been targeted in most cases. Someone pushed the right series of wrong buttons.

It could have been me,

Lessons:

1. Always sow bountifully — lots of seeds, lots of places, much redundancy, multiple possibilities, many baskets of eggs.

2. Be ready for anything. Resilience is our friend. Sometimes, it seems, our only friend. Surround yourself and clothe yourself with bounceable material and be ready to bounce at all times.

3. Have backup plans.

4, Budget time for redoing what you have already done, for repairs, for rebuilding, and for strategizing.

5. Accept that technology, the world, organizations, and organizing itself are imperfect. The only answer to these imperfections is to keep at what we do, make repairs where we can, and keep moving forward.

There it is, my first attempt to make sense of my problem and develop an article about it.

You are seeing it here first.

Stuff breaks
Sometimes with a crumble,
Sometimes with a mumble.
Sometimes makes me stumble
Always keeps us humble

It breaks
In tiny pieces.
It breaks.
Can I says
Feces?

People break.
Systems break.
Nations break.

They say,
“Fake it till you make it.”
I say, “OK.”
And stake it till you break it.

And then?
Fix it or nix it.
Repurpose, repair or unpair.

Sometimes, you have to pout and
Throw it out
And move on.

And make the best of what you’ve learned.

After I wrote this, I found this post from Judy Fiske — Powerful.

And another joyful message of hope from Josh Groban:
