The little things.
I have been trying to hold onto to moments. Grasp onto them tightly, changes are coming and I want to try to get everything out of this time.
I realized today also how important small deeds are. Just a smile, or a quick chat. To take the time to stand for a few extra seconds and hold the door, or to thank someone - really thank them, not the habitual kind. Someone peeked their head into my studio and made a comment that in that moment changed everything. My day went from great to grand, it enabled me to sit back, take a deep breath, smile, and be thankful. Thankful for nothing but the remembrance that I am a part of something that is common, and yet so far out of the ordinary - life.
My name is Thomas Stollar. This is my last semester of graduate school at WVU. My thesis deals with introspection, and gaining a better understanding of how everyday experiences shape human character. The project is process oriented with the intention of documenting my most thought provoking experience for each day of January 2012. Each experience will be symbolically decorated onto forms like these. In the end all of the forms will compose a metaphorical version of my personality.
