Bougainvilleas,
densely blossomed,
nonplussed by rain clouds.

merges with the earth,

PROMPT: Comfort
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?
I don’t, but I have a lot of strategies for being more content in the face of various situations and environments — including uncomfortable ones. These include the yogic practice of dispassionate witnessing, minimalism, travel (and specifically minimalist travel to places – the less familiar the better,) and intense physical activity.
I think comfort as a major objective in life is overrated, and virtually insures a discontented life. A life in which one can be content, whatever may come along, is a happy life.

PROMPT: Future #2
What are you most excited about for the future?
The surprises. Who knows what the future might bring? Utopia. Dystopia. Technological breakthroughs might save us, or kill us all. Or maybe there’ll be no technological breakthroughs as we descend into a Luddite-driven dark age. Whatever happens, we’ll never see it coming. SURPRISE!

PROMPT: Music
What is your favorite genre of music?
I don’t like music by its genre, much to the chagrin of the streaming service that would like to make recommendations but is stumped by the mix of folk, symphonic, rock, instrumental, jazz, international, country, heavy metal and easy listening music that I bounce through.

reminds me of fireworks
from my youth.
