Walking past the gate


I know I dropped a hint of things to change and then disappeared in a puff of smoke. The reason is twofold. First I had to resign before posting about resigning. Which I did on Friday.


Suddenly I am free. And it feels so good. So very terrible amazing. My heart ripples outwards to meet my future and sometimes she flies up high to look down at the possibilities running across the landscape of tomorrow where this NGO is located.


Secondly I have an essay on Kohlberg's theory of moral development that must be finished by Wednesday and a test the week after. I should not even be sitting here now. So although the detailed joys and revelations are pushing against my fingers begging to get out I have to return to the cell of the deadline.


Until I'm let out I will have to sing to myself.

Then I will return and visit and reflect and complete memes, some of them stretching back to February.

Until then a shout of joy, a sigh of relief and many hops, skips and bounces.

Skipping alongside until you return.

When I resigned to leave for grad school I felt better than I had in years.

Can't wait to hear about the new adventure.

I am so proud and excited for you. One step closer to having the beauty of your life, reflect the beauty of you, sweet sister.

Oh, what flutter said just tore me up and was so, so perfect. What else can one say?

Woot! Woot!

I would love to have a crack at reading that essay. :) Haven't had to write those for a long, long time and always find other people's perspectives interesting.

It's so good that you chose to resign from that oppressive job.



Peace,

Kohlberg? Who's that? (Don't bother, I'll look it up.)

It's so marvelous that you finally decided and that you're so much looking forward to your new job.

And now I'm going to look at that new place, finally.
