Gentle Gales
Dear Reader,
After a lovely and lengthily phone chat with a dear friend who is overseas, I found myself recharged and ready to tackle a "problem" spot in my thesis. While I was doing battle with my analysis, I received, via email, several sections of my dear friend's work that I had asked to see, and this is where the magic starts!
In reading her work, I found a structure that helped me untangle my work. So where is the magic you might ask? Sure, we all know that we benefit from reading another's work and from seeing how another works.
The magic was that this gift came at the right time, so that I could see it for what it was: a brilliant way to section off (isolate) complexities of an intricate and complex argument. I had not the words to even explain my current -- make that previous -- dilemma, but in reading my friend's work, I found a structural solution to a problem that I could now name.
Today I set to my work energized and indebted to my generous fried. I had asked to see her work with the hope that I might be of some sort of support for her, but it was she that offered a gentle gale to my sail and now I navigate forward instead of drifting in the dulldrum of small circles.
Dearest Friend, thank you!
Best,
Dale
