from a poem by Wendell Berry

A fragment of wisdom from a larger work worth absorbing: Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front, by Wendell Berry:

"So, friends, every day do something
that won't compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it. "

Good advise for the tech guy, and maybe for others, too.
