cultivating beauty

now that i am nearing the end, i can see goodwill in people again; i can make conversations; i can smile with strangers. being so caught up in the production of material for critical review created such a narrowing of my perspective that i could no longer really see or feel beauty. i am happy and relieved that that is changing- happy and relieved...

this process has been a tremendous amount of work, but completing it successfully is enormously rewarding.

now to find work where i am making a difference and being challenged personally and intellectually to continue my growth! only, this time the challenges will be interpersonal and not with books and papers. :)

oh.

went camping recently... here are some good pics.
