a new habit...

For 2 a few nights now, I walk out of my PGP room, and walk. Usually towards Chatterbox, then pop in and see who remains there, then pop out back to PGP.

I usually think thrugh things and reflect upon recent events, and do a little bit of worship, and a bit of prayer, like solitude.

And it's a nice thing to do, especially when I realise that I cannot force myself to stay in the room...

Tonight I realised nothing new. It was a reminder that as things change, they stayed the same too.

My approach to topics have changed, but I'm still passionate or at least, interested in the same few things. I still think about environment, and I still think about how people make sense of information. It's just that I have new things to think about - sociology of science, of knowledge, and semiotics to bring these things to bear on various analyses. I still have an active mind, still thinking about many ideas - but the main threads still remain.

This time last year, I was still interested in information technologies and still concerned about climate change. At that level, nothing has changed!

The friends have stayed the same, but changed as well. We are not taking the same modules, and new relationships have developed that let old bonds weaken a bit. But no matter. There is still time, time enough to catch up, but these are moments to treasure, to cherish.

Love remains.
