sievings
the semester is over, the school year is over, the newness of the phd program is over, and with those, the journey of a thousand steps... leading seamlessly on to another. much has been gained, much has been lost, but all to immensely gainful end. rays of sunshine, fewer clouds - i am grateful.
election results were announced today, and as always, when the voices of the land have spoken, rich and poor alike, there is a deep satisfaction within that everyone has had their say, no matter which say it was in the end. hurrah for freedom! hurrah for democracy!
until yesterday, i did not know who to root for, though i was definitely anti certain forces in both parties. after spending hours in front of the tv listening to all kinds of critiques from all kinds of directions, i am feeling much happier to have discovered today's results. indeed, almost as happy as i was on the day that obama won. i trust that the best outcome has resulted from these weeks of phenomenal electoral effort.
after a fulfilling 4-hour nap this afternoon, i resumed my reading of narcissus and goldmund. i find it hard to confess that it was quite a challenge, as i struggled to keep my eyes on the book. in a flash i was reminded of a conversation with a last week, on her recently discovered patience with reading. and this is how inspiration takes effect - i thought to myself, "geez, why can't i?" i know i shall now finish the book, no matter what. thank you, a. the importance of role models is not to be underestimated!
after several days of largely evenminded peace, i've been in angst mode for a few. the best analogy i can concoct is that of a chicken that breaks out of the egg-shell, except to find herself in yet another egg-shell that she must grow strong enough to break out of, and so on. i'm feeling that angst of needing to break myself out of this current shell. however, what this shell or its breaking allude to, time only shall tell.
