About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: Do you feel you have to be available at all times? How has this affected your down time?

---------------------------

I have to be available to me, at all times, so I can be available to all those other people and places. As to downtime, I found this definition of it online:

"Downtime or outage duration refers to a period of time that a system fails to provide or perform its primary function. Reliability, availability, recovery, and unavailability are related concepts."


I wouldn’t want my system to fail, even when it is not working at full capacity, like right now, due to a possible virus which is making me feel sick. I still push it because I don’t want to lose those related concepts of reliability, availability, and recovery.

Generally speaking, I like all the work I do, no matter how mundane. In addition, I don’t do any work that I don’t like. Thus, at times, the difference between work and leisure is so blurred that I don’t know whether I am working or having fun.

It is a good idea to have fun with what one is doing and finding the fun part of what one has to do.
