I am mindful of living a joyful life, every day. At times, this has momentarily cost me the esteem of my academic peers. That's fine! And they shouldn't be grouped together anyway. They are each individuals, mindful of their own intentions.

And I'm aware that ardor can sometimes be seen as naive. Also fine. I get it. Also, I consciously try to rid myself of envy, being offended, doubt. Not in a religious way, but because I don't like stuff that slows me down. Those things slow people down.

Also, daily, I remind myself that my heroes are human beings and that I am a human being and so I am capable of those same heroic feats. I see this as an open door. A path across misty moors.. one I want to take. And do.

Sometimes this can come off as militant optimism, other times it's as fluid as ballet. In both cases, I feel at home here, tracking joy, walking with joy, debating with it, too. Joy can, of course, be found while remaining still, too.

I felt like posting this because I feel like getting to know the people I interact with on here in ways other than through opinion. And these words feel more me than opinion, review, response ever do.
