We went to an outdoor Christmas Mass in a paddock! Not quite as glam down under, nevertheless, magical in it's own humble way. <BR/><BR/>The difficulty I have with academic endeavour is the isolation and repeatedly coming to that ego puncturing place of “I know so little”. <BR/><BR/>- All practice, all effort throws you immediately into the drama of trying to get somewhere<BR/>You are aware of that – (Isaac Shapiro)<BR/><BR/>This awareness actually gives me a good vantage point.<BR/> <BR/>As you told me a few months ago, just keep riding on the crest of that wave, balance or WIPEOUT... Sometimes I fall off when my ego wants to step up the pace and get things moving MY direction. Splat! dumped by one of those huge Hawaiian, pipeline self awareness waves. I have to climb back on the board and paddle out, humbled once again. It's great! I love it! <BR/>Just keep going with the study and you will be amazed before you are half way through.
