I was, as previously stated, stuck with a blog that I have outgrown, until I accepted that it must either fizzle or grow with me.
Reading The Tao of Pooh helped immensely.
The lesson of the uncarved block is simply that the block is what it is… things are as they are. Not needing fixing, fighting or fussing, the uncarved block accepts itself, and can be respected as what it is. This blog is in transition and that is what it is. It is not my personal blog–where I divulge and dish to a secret audience–It is not meant to bore the reader with a lot of impractical jib jab… academic in nature, is also is what it is… but this makes my online existence fragmented and, for lack of a better description, itchy.
Still, I stumble over the uncarved block to find my answer… and so, note the changes… viva la vida will remain, but with a new tag line… The continuation of research and learning after undergraduate life, the development of an academic, or other, career, littered with a few simple posts of inspiration, humor and inquisition. A blog of wanderings and questing for career fulfillment, proper fit and certainly productivity… with no judgement for paths not taken, roads untraveled and books unread.
I begin anew. Join me.
