I had never imagined to discover the most vital university in the very heart of insecurity, longing, confusion, pain, and loss. To my great astonishment I have been admitted. Here, scholarship is wonder, expertise is bright awareness and inspiration, and learning is love without binding or shackle.

Uncertainty, long my deadly opponent, is now a set of transformations leading into flight. Concern, the hidden transit to otherwise impossible insight. Fear, a fuel that moves my soul toward more perfect presence, and pain, the rhythmic pulse gently urging open the fervent blossom at my deepest core.
