Step By Step
I was browsing through the trinket cabinet yesterday and I found this piece of design work that I put together back when I got my first computer, a Dell I think.
I knew very little about how to use a computer and so I spent a summer figuring out what it could do. I could not type and I still can't but I get by.
Through trial and error I managed to come to terms with it in a very limited way. My biggest fear was pressing the wrong button and breaking it.....or allowing a virus contaminate the works !
Looking at the parchment sheet with the sunset and tree brings me back to the great excitement I felt just using a simple programme to create this image as a background for the poem I had written.
By the shore of a bay
Stands a great maple tree.
There is a golden chain on that tree
Fastened to a ring of gold.
By day and by night
An ancient thinker walks ceaselessly
Around the tree
Bound by the chain.
As he moves to the left
He recalls a glimmering moment long past.
As he moves to the right
He gilds each falling leaf with
Evening rays of sunshine gold.
