And now what do I do?

I always seem to feel a sense of loss when I complete a project that is really important to me. Today I completed the first draft of my journal for my Master of Philosophy in Humanities and tonight I cannot resist a certain sense of melancholy. There will be revisions to make of course but nonetheless work that has been in progress for more than two years [half my life on some level] is nearing an end.

I have also finished shooting all of the rushes for my film and now must begin the task of of constructing a final product from that. Now I must engage other people in the task of editing and narrating and composing music. It will become our project not my project and that too will require some adjustment.

I face a time of change now. I will be returning to Calgary to begin my PhD at the end of August and that fact fill me with a mixture of anticipation and downright fear. But I cannot stand still for I am endless compelled ahead into the future.
