Caught, perhaps un poco paralyzed,
Across this space perceived as pure potential,
Where either pathway taken
Might bring adventures new and change essential.
A whisper then – “awaken” –
Faintly heard from somewhere up ahead,
Its true direction still disguised,
I step, to see which way my heart has led.
Just this past week, I made a pretty big decision - I decided to accept an offer from Syracuse University to be a teaching professor there in environmental engineering. I had offers from two schools, and it was an extremely difficult choice. I think both options were good, and I was leaning toward each one at different points in the process. To some extent, it just came down to what felt right in my heart. I wrote this poem a couple days later.
