In 11.5 hours I see my first real patient. My first real sick patient. Getting to this point in the past 8 months has been very revealing. I am less so sure of things now but more calm . The same calm found in the eye of the Hurricane. If I look to far ahead thinks become dark and cloudy. It seems the present moment. Right here right now is that I am in control. Even it is very fragile. The equilibrium of now. That is how I am living. Enjoying the moment now without worrying about tomorrow. Of course I plan for tomorrow in the sense i study for my exams, prepare for my research sessions, group meetings, etc. However I live now more for the moment. Instead of preparing for that every elusive tomorrow. The tomorrow where I can live for now.
The next four weeks will go by fast as I write my final exams. Very excited about the trip to British Columbia; it is about a year since since I last visited pacific ocean. My plan is to spend it hiking parks in vancouver island, going skiing in whistler, schmoozing it with friends in Vacnouver, and enjoying a week off before semester III.
