Muse:
I am waiting for the new BBC ‘Great Expectations’ to load. My cat is curled up at my feet. It is raining outside. I have nothing to do today.
I am grateful for the people who surround me. I once sketched a tree detailing the people in my life that I care for, and they are very few, but I am very grateful to have each of them.
I am working on being more present. The brain can spiral here and there on a whirlwind of disjointed thoughts and if I don’t stop, I’m very likely to miss things; entire days, conversations, learning experiences. I must be more willful than ordinary to be present.
I am looking forward to studying again. Reading with a purpose, being stressed, challenged to contribute, think and interpret. Being with other minds on a similar path.
I am anticipating a move. Mixed emotions; sad to leave this space, where I grew up, but a neccessary move forward. A different surround, a different space to inhabit and grow in; make my own again.
