A Side of Doubt
I usually don’t post journal entries so soon after I write them, but I re-read this one this morning and decided to go for it. The fellowship that I’m applying for has posted documentary-style profiles of the 2008 recipients on their Web site. I wrote this entry after watching a few of the reels.

Doubt is good. It’s humbling. It makes you wonder, “Have I done enough?” And the answer is always no. There is always more to do. I’ll take a side of doubt with my hope. Hope is still the main course though. It’s hot and savory. I’ll wash them both down with a glass of full-bodied purpose and have sweet passion for dessert.

Wow, talk about a prestigious and competitive grant that you applied for! I’m gonna borrow a few phrases from “Linda! Linda!” performed by The Blue Hearts, a Japanese punk rock band. “I want to be beautiful like a rat, because there is beauty within that can’t be captured with pictures.” Your modesty, and drive to set high standards are a few of the many building blocks that have shaped your inner beauty. Don’t question your purpose, stay on course with your wonderful cause. Wishing your grant proposal may be accepted.
