(W)rite-ing On...: There are Days Off and Then There are Off Days

There is Life After the Thesis

After chronicling my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences throughout the thesis process on this blog (formerly entitled Rites of a Thesis), it seemed odd to me to simply let the blog go just because I had turned in my thesis and graduated. I don't want to merely "shelve" my thesis nor do I want all that I got from my time at Naropa to lie dormant. I want my thesis to continue to live and breathe and become, and I would like all the teachings and experiences I had during my time at Naropa to do the same. So I am keeping the blog (changing the title), and am commiting to myself to (w)rite on as I journey forward.

There are Days Off and Then There are Off Days

Today I took a day off from my thesis. I did nothing except some inner methods this morning.

Last week I had a couple of "off" days. Writing was laborious. Focus was nowhere to be found.

The difference between a day off and an off day is choice. Choosing to take a day "away from" is a whole different ball game then having a day that "gets away."

Tomorrow night I have a thesis "date." My thesis and I are going to spend some intimate time together. Because I have chosen to do so.

Today was today. And in the spirit of Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day."
