Hey. I actually had to join Live Journal so that I could leave you a comment. But it took so long to register I half forgot what I was going to say. LOL.
I think it was basically something about how your are making ripples and making waves in the sea of life even if you're just thrashing around trying not to drown sometimes . . . about how important it is to realize that you have amazing gifts and sometimes you just have to trust you're NOT wasting them . . . about pursuing your super-secret vision of yourself (who you are and who you're becoming) even if it sometimes seems crazy. And about living in that that sad-happy state of simultaneously being and becoming.
My understanding of the work you're doing and the world (academia) you're part of is really, really limited. But something tells me (grin) you don't have to worry about losing yourself there. Something tells me that you have the moxie & integrity to make a difference without compromising.
