Sometimes one gets flashes of insight. Sometimes they come, all glaring and others its a whisper of a thing. This morning I realised why I’ve done all those degrees. It wasn’t the qualifications, or even the proof of competence but more that they gave me a path to follow, my work had a reason, a place to be. I find this empty space (that I have to fill) at times utterly overwhelming.
