Jeremy, here, is interesting on psychotherapy, which, as we know, I am largely against. And I do not lead the life I think I should, some aspects of which are actually elements in the life I want.
Today I gave a long interview about the prison activism I do, and primarily the work done in the 1990s; it was more than therapeutic. The conference at which I spoke about that earlier this semester, and today’s interview were the best days in the semester so far. That is the project I wanted to leave my field for and that inspires me the most.
No, simply shifting my focus within field would not do nearly enough to accommodate this “interest.” That would distort my interests within my field and would not help the project advance. Still it seems to me that to have found it. To have been involved with this project for any length of time and to any degree, is the most important and valuable, the defining experience of my life.
I suspect many people do not have the chance to find something that interests them to the degree this project does me. I am so glad to be one of the people who has had the experience of discovering something like this.
Axé.
