ch-ch-ch-ch-changes


(turn and face
the strain)...


it's september
and
a month
of
some
big changes.
the month
i take
my exam
for
phd candidacy...
a big milestone
in my career.


then
i'll fly across
the country
to spend
2 weeks
in california...
and get
to meet
some
amazing
bloggers
that i
admire
and
drive around
wine country
listening
to the cd
shari
made me...



but for now
i have to focus
and study
and prepare.
22 days to go.

strange fascination,
fascinating me
changes are taking
the pace
i'm going through..


life is strange
sometimes
you feel
so damned
stagnant...
like you
never change...

and then
whammo bammo

you are
different...
but you were
really
changing
all along.



time may change me
but I can't trace time.
