Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Entry #651976
Despite my years of study having recently come to an end, and facing graduation this weekend, I've been a bit ambivalent. In a way, wishing that time didn't feel so stretched now. "Get it over with already!" Like I can't face all the attention. I don't want to believe it's the usual worthiness issue -- it does easily feel that way, however. I feel kinda empty. There are plenty of things I can be accomplishing now that I am not scheduled to class. I don't quite feel like doing anything else, accomplishing anything else fully, until this rite of passage is complete. On the other hand, I don't want to feel down. Luckily a song came on the radio to speak to me. I love it when a song comes on the radio, and becoming mindful of all its lyrics, it is like coming out of a deep meditation:

"And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?"

[Once in a Lifetime -- Talking Heads]

It also reminds me of the marketing for the Nicolas Cage film, The Family Man, which calls upon an even more frequently quoted line of this Talking Heads song. It may seem funny that I'd even mention Nick Cage, but then, he's a cousin of Julia Cameron (writer of The Artist's Way), so he's one of my muses by association.
