I am content.

There are things going on but in the face of everything, I'm pleased with the direction my life is taking. I'm a perky scientist again and I feel I can close the door on 3.75 years of searching. 3.75 years of tumult in my soul has quieted. It's reminiscent of when I went skydiving. The past few years have been like freefall... chaotic, loud, unsettling, terrifying, exhilarating but it can't go on forever. Then the chute opened and all went quiet and I was left suspended in air staring out at the world around me. Floating, not falling. The chute has opened.
