I'm glad I'm doing this but it's weird to be essentially a different person each day when I wake up. I can control this by waking up before the sunrise and cooking meals. I made a bolognese sauce today.
This time next week I will be in Kalamazoo and likely letting my friend go off and do her thing while I do whatever I do. I'm not sure yet. I find myself after being despondent on Saturday being reenergized somehow.
I went and got a book out of the library. Three books including the one I got the bolognese sauce recipe from.
I'm not ready to say the book I got, but it's influencing me strongly. I have a conviction that my role is to arm individuals with information, not to promote what institutions want.
The world we lived in is transforming, and I was part of the old world, and perhaps I can help become a bridge of sorts. I'm weird and unique and this is what I'm supposed to do.
But that doesn't mean I can't start thinking like an intellectual, trying to solve what I think is a crisis. We have to communicate better, and it starts with getting people to question their own thought patterns. That's what education should do, and I've deliberately stayed away from the academy.
