A Break in the Fog
Inspired by sunshine and a late afternoon at the beach that turned sunny and almost warm. Pear martinis. Quiet walking with an old friend, taking photos, focusing on things other than our troubles. Seems that the more I worry and worry about my work, the less break I get, and the more lost in a vortex of anxiety about the dissertation. Yesterday was a day of just that, but ended instead with an escape from the fog, both outside and in my head. And today dawned sunny, with an answer to an email from a student ahead of me, filled with helpful advice and openness. What a roller coaster of feelings compared to yesterday morning.
I’ll take the good days and moments as they come. Back to the day now, fingers tapping keys, eyes glancing from the screen up to sunny rooftops and Bernal Hill in the distance. Getting writing done and appreciating that there’s not a shred of fog in sight.
