Daily (Yoda–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

Caveat emptier: This post was drafted with help from an AI assistant (Perplexity)— but ideated and edited extensively by the human, Bill Acton

Guide me, Lord,
through this glowing web,
hmm?

Much fear, I sense,
in every feed:
scams, anger,
click‑bait strong is.

When rushed I feel—
“Open now, respond now,
pay now”—
remind me:
haste is the path
to compromise.

Guard my devices,
small they are,
but powerful.

Strong, my passwords must be.
Shared, they must not be.

Backed up, my memories should be,
or lost forever they will be.

Tempted I am
to live only in this screen,
forgetting the living beings
beside me.

Call me back, you must,
to real faces,
real voices,
real presence.

And when darkness
spreads in comments
and threads,
hate and mockery I see,
help me choose the light:
to speak calm truth,
to protect the vulnerable,
or to walk away in peace.

Steward this digital life well,
I must.
For what I click
shapes who I become,
and what I share
shapes the galaxy
around me.

AI‑assisted creative work: This litany is an imaginative parody pastiche using generative AI. It imitates the public persona of [Yoda] for commentary and devotional reflection. It is not created by or affiliated with [Yoda], and should not be taken as his real views or words.
