Nothing has proven itself once more.  After spending hours trying to find a password to suit my new printer, I was in despair.  Why did it not answer any of my reliable code words built up over the years?

The answer, provided on a hunch by my sister Carol, was none.  All I should have done was to simply ignore the request.  Doing so would have both saved time and preserved my peace of soul.  Instead, I tortured myself by searching for something that did not exist.

It’s not as if I had never before ignored the request for a password.  On more than one occasion, one of the smart tutors at the Apple store had shown me to provide no answer.  But, keeping my focus on reason  I failed to discover the beautiful way of nothing at all.
