Exploring the landscape

The scene I behold each afternoon I walk home

I’ve been reading long-overdue “seminal” articles since yesterday.  It’s a good way to remember the things I’ve forgotten about this research, as well as a great opportunity to put things together, make connections, and synthesize. I’m basically exploring the landscape of epistemologies–that’s how I’d describe what I’ve been doing these days, and it’s funny how it seems to keep changing each time I visit.  Have I been away that long? 

Deja vu

My study place for the next few days

Reading my research notes after months of working on everything else feels like deja vu.  Gradually, like leaves falling in slow motion, the ideas–and the memories of ideas–settle in place.  Recognition is a wonderful, reassuring feeling.
