Dear colleagues and friends, With RIPE 82 closing this week - a third online meeting! - the 
feelings about "what makes us a community" and maintaining mental and 
physical health, in addition to keeping the Internet working, are still 
very important, even if the end of the pandemic is in sight. In March, I wrote an article "You are Not Alone". In it, I mapped the OSI 
Networking Model and Maslow's pyramid of needs. I've been publishing 
articles about each layer since, and today's topic is Layer 6: Presentation Layer / Need for Beauty (aesthetic) which translates, using poetic freedoms, to "Nature is Healing" https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-nature-is-heali... Share and Enjoy, Vesna Manojlovic
