I’ve not written this in a while, and I apologize: the programme I’m on is a lot more intense than I had expected, and this has sucked away a lot of my energy from working on this.
But as I reflected on this, I realised that I’ve been setting myself-up for failure: I’ve been conceiving of this course as this massive, well-prepared “block”, which I research and write-up and then deliver with perfection.
But of course, instead, life happens.
So I’m going to chip at this, one little bit at a time, through little blocks that I’ll try to consistently write, maybe daily, maybe weekly, but definitely whenever the mental state is as-right-as-it-can-be. And also when I don’t have the clear answers, too.

Generally a curious person, with wide ranging interests from Archaeology to Zen.
