Four more days

...of exams and then four days in Capetown and freedom. Blessed freedom.

The past week was wild with work and studying and finishing my research project. I managed to leave two pages of my project at home in my hurry to leave. Sigh.

The wonderful thing is I'm beginning to realize that my worth does not equal the average I receive for my projects. It has to do with meeting each moment with curiosity, with taking risks and trusting unexpected opportunities, with light and shadows dancing behind screens of foliage, with leaves dancing with clouds and with Florian and I dancing in the kitchen to Burning spear.

Now I have to return to the books but I will be back as soon as I get to Capetown.


ps. While I have been studying summer has arrived. Green and purple and thunderstorms and late sunsets.

Looking forward to seeing your photos when you have time again. Here we have just had the last, glorious burst of color, and soon the skies will be leaden and the days so very short.

no, are grades do not define us--it is good to realize that.

and while summer has come to you, snow is on its way to us. . .

Funny.

I am just thinking how grades do not matter. It is what one does with the knowledge and the curiosity.

I love your apparent joy. And how I wish for late sunsets and Burning Spear.

I agree, this is beautiful:

"...i'm beginning to realize that my worth does not equal the average i receive for my projects."
