On hope's broken wing my spirit once fell,
From joy's sunny heights to great depths of woe;
And music's sweet strains in sadness did swell,
Life's garden of flowers was covered with snow.

But a bright little bird sang of God's love,
"I, even I, to the ground can not fall,
Without the care of the Father above;
He careth for me, for He loveth all."

My eyes then beheld a lily in bloom;
From her heart of gold she whispered to me:
"I sow and reap not, I dread not the tomb,
The hand of my God provideth for me."

My soul then, in prayer, sought peace with its God,
The snow on life's garden melted away:
And my new heart seemed a beautiful sod
Where a sweet hope bloomed that ne'er will decay.

Thoughts

Some random and debatable thoughts of mine^[1], if you've got time to lose^[2].

Here, the ultimate goal of technological optimization is to proofread without reading. Most of the human input is unnecessary, and we can go much faster without it.^[3].

We have a problem with documentation. We have some help pages, sure, but nearly no one actively takes care of those^[4], and there are many things that should be in there. The /doc subpages of templates are in most case good, but they're hard to find. We have a great lot of them, a nice help page that doesn't cover a lot of them and a category tree that is at the very least puzzling. Quite a lot of templates are in categories that make them hard to find^[5]. I am neither the first^[6], nor the second, to think we have a documentation issue. There have apparently been a number of attempts to fix this already, and they've more or less all dwindled to nothing.

We should not choose works for notability or usefulness, as they are both very relative. I personally choose the works I do because why not.

↑ and you probably do, if you landed here
↑ it is a bit ridiculous that I am taking time that I could have spent proofreading to write on how precious time is
