So, I graduated yesterday. Again.
Two masters degrees, a bachelor's degree, and a high school diploma have given me four graduation ceremonies, but this one was the most important of my life. And that's because during the Chancellor's address, I heard a small, quiet, gentle baby wail from the upper balcony - and knew that I'd truly graduated - to focusing my energy on Being, rather than Doing...
Getting to the graduation was a superhuman feat, involving two hours of preparation, and none of my postgraduate reearch came close to preparing me for the daily events of my current existence. As I packed my two bottles of expressed and sanitized glory into the full nappy bag, I thought, 'Someone should write a PhD on this.'
