i guess its about patience.
maybe thats the lesson i need to learn right now. patience. i'm not good at that lesson, at all.
anyhow. i think all this reading is finally kicking in. reading a book about the bottom of the pyramid, pedagogy of the oppressed, and then lawerence lessig, and throw in a bit of the book of job (thats another story for another day, please don't ask), and its all one big lesson and learning experience. one thing is, i wish it weren't so exhausting, but i guess its paying off.
any friend reading this? t? are you reading it? just wanted to tell you that i love you.
oh. and again about the young lady who's story helped me so much with my own coming to grips of my dad's health. christi thomas. i need to learn a lesson from them about hard things. i hope my family never ever has to go through what they are going through. i hope your family never has to go through it. i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, and they are simply a kind hard working family from ohio. and christi simply a young lady who loves cats and school. as a phd student in education who decided to keep 2 of her cats and pay more to live outside the student housing, i can relate to her a lot. i hope to my greatest hopes and prayers that she will get to be in my position one day - struggling to find her feet in a phd. program. but it doesn't look good, but all i can say is, whatever and however you speak to the greater, just include this young lady and her family in those conversations. i know i did this weekend, and i will tonight.
