And at the end, I saw the light…
Since April I felt that I was not very inspired, not at work, not here… it was not only the fact that the muses left me alone with just an empty chest during these months, it was also the lack of time, that time that the scientists enjoy with their own reflective thoughts and divagations.
I was required to be focused, effective, rational and concentrated… The only thing on my every day was the articles I was writing, and even that was very difficult some time.
But it’s done, finito!… and more will come, but this time is different.
I feel renovated, and I’ve learned that the extremes are not good either, just the middle way, the equilibrium…
(Mmmm… but that is really complicated to achieve…)
So, I’m still learning, and in my learning process I also learned that it will take me a while until I learn how to get to this perfect middle way-equilibrium.
Even now, when the reality surrounding me is only pressure, due dates, revisions, only 60 days to go to be finished with all my stuff, and an uncertain future, I believe that I passed my proof of fire, and now I’m stronger.
As the sun is shining a bit more in Hannover, so is my inspiration.
The muses are back and friends with me again and I’ll take advantage… I’ll take advantage of my momentary lapse of reason!

Aha! I suspect another ‘Futures’ contribution is on its way …..?
Yeah!… how do you know those things? (Mr. Gee the Mind Reader) ;-)
… Don’t worry, you’ll get some “contributions” pretty soon…
Hah!
Telepathy I can do right now. Omniscience might take a little longer.
