Digital gardening

Posted on October 15, 2022

A website is a lot like a garden.

I spend most of my days tending to my garden. I walk around it
aimlessly, plucking dead links, pruning superfluous words, and
repotting overgrown paragraphs into their own articles. I neglect
some sections and obsess over others.

I accept that my work will remain unfinished. I am eager to discover
what the soil can produce, but there are only so many hours in a day.
I already marvel at how far it has come.

I have learned to welcome other gardeners as peers, instead of
fearing them as competitors. I have learned to share advice and
compliments freely. The world needs more gardens.

This article is a seedling. I might tend to it later, when it feels
right. Kind regards to Maggie Appleton, who introduced me to this
metaphor.
