The chapters in our lives are never of equal length. Dozens of meaningful events can be crammed into a small space while other times in life might seem like an ocean of non-events. Having spent a wonderful year in New York City I now face life in Raleigh without the anchor of teaching to keep me moored. It is far too easy to let one day melt into another, one week into another, and one month into another. At the same time, there is a certain joy in not having to bend to a fixed schedule or complete half of a daily "to do" list.
It is my hope that this journal will reflect good use of idle time. Reading, listening, practicing, traveling, and helping others will all find their way into my life but in perhaps less of a structured way than previously.
Let the new chapter begin!
