............................................ ............................................ A blog devoted to the ramblings of a small town, middle aged college professor as he experiences life and all its strange variances.
I feel as if I am currently in a VOID. I do not really feel happy, nor sad, nor angry. I kind of feel nothing.I do what I have to do. I put on an "animated" face while teaching, but it is a facade. I run, but only to get it done. This has been the routine for the last two weeks, at least.
Not much else to report.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
Professor, can you lean into Lent for some inspiration or motivation?
ReplyDeleteOf course, you know that your pipes would pull you right out of that void, if only there were some way you could feel comfortable welcoming them back into your life. But if that's not an option, is there some trusted person you could talk to, maybe a priest or a psychologist? Being alone in a void isn't a healthy or safe place to be. If you're stuck with drudgery for a while, you could mitigate it at least a little bit by finding someone to whom you can comfortably vent and unburden yourself.
ReplyDeleteYou have really been grinding, and the grind can get to you. Easter is coming; spring is coming.
ReplyDeleteActually, now that I think of it I'm that way most days. I guess I consider that normal for me.
ReplyDeleteOn the roller coaster, an even and boring ride is better than too many highs and lows. (in my opinion)
