Fear & Trembling

My mind is disloyal to trains of thought, and venally abandons them before their proving moments. Recently, in coming back to school, I've had to reconcile a sense of urgency with one of forbearance. To strike a new balance between freedom and discipline, and to forfeit one for another, I have to see myself misused by both, and it's hard. It takes an honesty I'm struggling towards.

Fear and Trembling, I'm told, is a ready cooperant to Hiroshima Mon Amour. Having seen the latter, I've started work on the first (with some grease for the gears). She is a knight of resignation. He is a knight of faith. Beautiful distinction, but let's hope I can make sense of the rest.
