To wind down means to relax after stress or exertion. I’m in the wind down now after a long semester. I say wind down, because I am still working. I am still grading. I am still scrambling to buy gifts and figure out places and poses to put this silly elf in for the next few days. Still, it is a wind down and it is exactly what I have been needing.
So, what is reset? That means I get to the end of the wind down and then attack reality with renewed energy. It is the reboot that computers undergo to reset errors and refresh memory. It is exactly what I needÂ
The words are trickling out slower and slower, as though there is a jam in the creative tubes. This is closer to the truth than I like admitting. I absolutely need this. I need the rest and the reboot. I need to get it going full power on the other side.
