I didn't sleep so well last night.

I realized that this year I've lost all clear sense of a dream to pursue. So much has gone wrong these last few years.

There's a quiet in my heart where a lot of goals once sat.

Mind you, it's a lot less painful then when I had to leave academia.

But it's a dangerous thing to live without direction or hope.

Nevertheless, this is the land I'm walking in for now. (The world is, too!) The aim is to tread carefully, and see what arises in the new terrain.
