I need a break sometimes. At work, I'm bombarded with questions, from students and colleagues. After work, I'm thrown with questions again. "What are you doing now?", "Have you finished your busy work?", "Done with your marking?", etc. Please, I don't need another supervisor. Effective communication does not involve only question marks. There are full stops too. I'm getting irritated.
This week may be the quietest week for me. The evenings for me have been peaceful, because home is where I found my 'secluded' corner do my necessary reflection. This week marks the beginning of the baby steps I'm taking into my cave. Even though my career gives me energy, it gets drained whenever I meet a leech. It's time to recharge my spiritual batteries, so I'm not going to push myself to perform for the next couple of days, except to write that dreadful work review form.
I'm enjoying the activities that help me reconnect with my spirit tonight. Sleep, dream and reflection. I have spent time restoring your soul today, especially when I have felt edgy or vaguely fearful these days. I must take time out to review the events of the past month and learn from them; this is the time to begin that process. I'm enjoying a gentle pace so I'm avoiding the hustle and bustle of public places. I'm going to turn in early tonight to allow plenty of time for dreaming.
Good night.
