Dappled light on moss
At once hiding and showing
Tantalizing me

@sugar getting the bill when your first appliance breaks as a new homeowner

"waiter, what is the soup of the day?"

Cold gazpacho? Oh yeah!
Wet gazpacho? Aww hell no!

Shrimp and avocado sushi roll? (Crowd goes wild)
Wet shrimp and avocado?? (Crickets)

It's funny, fish live in water all their lives, but the *minute* you propose a dish like "wet tuna" everyone is suddenly not hungry

Hidden desires
Symphony of sins at hand
Reach out, touch the dark

#vss365 Very Short Story

The mansion creaked in a way that said the cobwebs had evicted all the more interesting signs of being uninhabited. Pat and the Gang started recording, their parents were both in the audience and most of it, if their upfront hopes for prosperity failed there was always posterity on the backside.

"This is Ghostwatch coming to you live from The Unspoken House and we want to know.... Are you a believer?"

A tremendous crash sounded as an apparition wafted up through the floorboards and a comfortable panic settled over the Gang. They took their cue from Pat, who wasted no time on deliberation or sensibility and instead threw the microphone and bolted. Between the great racks in the library (so bookish the innuendo was lost), bouncing through the ballroom (too airheaded to appreciate itself), and finally roaring out the front terrace (who finally appreciated a funny name) they ran before pausing in a panting mass.

A button nose led a face with wide, if partially transparent, doe eyes through the door and the cutest ghoulie the Gang ever saw (though they'd never seen one) said, "I'm a believer; do you believe in yourselves?"

In sheets not our own
Twinning skin and secret sigh
Again, before checkout

Sleight of hand
Misdirection and mirrors
Smile, but cry inside

Reverberate me
Bass hit my soul like a drum
There's pain, but not here

Rain splatters on glass
Twisting newness into life
Rinse my world anew

The Rule of Hands

Being able to understand what you are doing with your hands in a situation. The hands themselves aren't necessarily important to the situation, but are a tool to visualize at a more granular level.

Example: "Let's work more closely with our clients to boost sales!"
So what are we doing with our hands? Are they holding phones as we make calls? Are they writing emails? Are they gesturing to a presentation? What are our hands doing when we "work more closely"?

Until you pass the rule of hands, you don't have a plan you have a buzzword.

@SwiftOnSecurity celebrating others getting hacked is big "5th domino in line" energy

@kqandrews and man in his hubris turned his eyes from the light and many horrors were wreaked upon the earth

Speck of dust falling
Glittering a shaft of light
May you never dim
