i see the light!

haaaaaaa...long sigh of relief. things went well. it's funny that after the stress is lifted things seem brighter. it's all a mind trick, isn't it? if i can coach myself through the harder days successfully, i'd be alright. but seriously, once again, there isn't anything significantly different in my life, except that i've completed yet another exam---THE exam! i wish i could somehow harness this energy and save it for a more trying time. or, if i can emulate all that i feel today---openness, calm, brightness, etc.---at a worse time, then i can work my way out of any boggy mire. it's definitely an art.
