BioThe grandiose misadventures of one (now) uniquely relaxed law student who spends far more time considering sci-fi, renaissance fairs, and the origins of language and culture than she ever does on subject matter jurisdiction. Upon reflection, I'm much happier...
...Because I'm no longer in law school. Damn but I procrastinate on updates. I now temp and send out résumés and go on interviews and continue to do tempwork. I also scrape by according to a very questionable definition of the phrase.
I renn, whenever renning doesn't conflict with my enormous lack of funds or my even more enormous instinct to avoid situations in which I will be used and people I cannot trust. This is wisdom, though it's not always easy to follow.
I follow my own spiritual path. Up until an absurdly short time ago, I couldn't say that. Hadn't been able to say it for years, in fact. But my feet are on the ground...at long last. And it feels good. No matter what else is attempting to create chaos in my world, that at least stays somewhat stable--at least in my awareness and commitment. I choose this path. And I'm going to walk it for a long time.
"Me caring about this would presuppose an alternate reality in which I cared about this."
Special greetings to those who joined in the fun and frivolity at the Miami Valley School ('92-'94), Mercersburg Academy ('94-'97), and Kenyon College ('97-'02). 242: Anarchy STILL Rules.

THE WAKING (Theodore Roethke)
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
