Higher Education

Thoughts of having tenure comes across the brain from time-to-time. May be hard to believe, given what's seen in the present, as well as the past. Even though the work seems endless, the joys that comes along override it, and make things last. Will that day ever come? Perhaps, even though there's no projected date. Besides, the journey is where it's at, and as long as the vision remains fixed, God certainly won't be late.

Being part-time faculty brings the freedom to move freely, but stability isn't at the top of the list. And even though you can basically move with lil-to-no penalty, it's getting easier to stay still and resist...the urge to just get up at the first sign of friction and go. Besides, things could turn out for the better, if there's less thought as to the current position, and instead just...take things slow.

Higher education can be quite the journey, as is being found out in the present-day...and the best part is knowing the most gratifying success is coming...somehow, someway.
