Clearing out the cobwebs

So, I need to empty out my head. Put things down somewhere so that I can get to work on funding. My brain is full of ideas and thoughts and things are roiling around.

I went to talk to the head of IS. I feel like such a fraud. I needed to be told that it was ok to look into this. I know it is ok, but I needed someone to tell me that I'm not some white girl looking for her Indian princess grandmother.

I don't think I am.  He said he would have pegged me as Métis.  Mixed.  I don't know. Ifeel like everything I have been listening to and reading seems to be coming together into some kind of greater understanding.

J said it would be difficult.

I said that I was not afraid of difficult things, I just needed to know that it was not a wrong path.

I'm terrified and freaked out by this. In the same way that I have been freaked out by most of the revelations of the past year. Thing is, they're not wrong.  I take them, sit with them, dream on them, and they've turned out to be right.  I don't have to want them, but they're true.

I think this one is too.

IT feels right. It makes sense.
