Coalesence

Remembered to do a blog post this morning. Whippee!

Finalizing the process of transferring handwritten pages into a single body of text. I feel iffy about the prospect of this being work with a singular statement, but I'm realizing that this isn't really the point. I'm also trying to take a page from the books of most of the rest of the class, who seem to be relating their projects to something they actively want to be involved with. That wasn't how I started out, but I'm getting there.

I have more than 20 pages worth of material, I'm confident, but trimming it into a finished package is something I feel I'm behind on. One week to go, and I'd like to wrap a "what NGOs and other people can do" statement around everything. One of the things I'm learning (or re-learning; this seems to come up in plenty of walks of life) though is there's a major difference between immediate and angry passion about something and the kind of passion that inspires active dedication. I'm not sure whether the kind of action I'm writing as necessary is something I could spend a ton of my life doing. It's scary; I don't like to think that being involved with Africa and crimes against humanity is something akin to imagining myself as a football player when I was younger, but there's a pretty major bridge to cross to make a theory or idea something real, concrete.
