close the world, open then ext
Sep. 12th, 2004 04:34 pmIn the beginning, there was simply Before. No turbulence marred existence, as all things slowly took their forms.
As time passed, a new age was born. It was a time of becoming, while the world gathered its breath for what would come next. This time was known only as During.
Seasons passed, and the world changed again. Now, all existence hangs in space above the time known as Frantic. Within the coming age, all the preparations of earlier times shall find their purpose, and the world shall be devoid of sleep and spare time.
But it is not the end. Beyond this rushed time lies After - a time in which all Other Things shall be allowed to happen.
On Monday, Frantic begins. I have a full 15,000 words of thesis to write, many more references to find, and all my calculations still ahead of me. I think I can see through it, though - somewhere out in the mists lies the distant shores of After, when all the rest of my life is allowed to happen as it will.
In other news, my birthday thus far has been all 31 flavours of Awesome. Thanks to all those I've had a chance to catch up with... It's such a nice change to not be working on my birthday, too - probably only the second time this has happened since I turned 15.
