Time for intermediates

Work with what you have--a rocking chair, a guitar, a supermarket in walking distance, a library to ride your bike to. Or whatever it may be.

With the computer in front of you, look these up:

Four quartets, by TS Eliot
The Transcendentalist, by Emerson
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, a movie
Flint (for the unemployed and underpaid), a song by Sufjan Stevens

Read in bed, fall asleep. Wake up in the late afternoon and go outside.

Graduate work in the bewilderment of freedom

The essays here are suggestions for what to do.
