To a friend and her thesis

It is little known that a thesis is a wild beast that almost cannot be tamed. It is little known that a thesis can contain your soul. It is little known that if there is one person on this planet that can tame a thesis into being it is my friend. It is little known that my friend stands so solid on this planet that it is tempting to orbit around her. It is tempting to throw myself on the ground and grasp at her feet because I know that with each one of her steps will come a sense of purpose. She is not lost, she is not wounded. She pilots her own freedom with skill and I know that when she finishes her thesis it will shine with her clear intellect and bear the indelible stamp of her humanity.

So I offer this to my friend and her thesis, there is not even one doubt in any corner of my mind that you are brilliant. The words will come, the time will pass and it will be done before you realise it. Enjoy your break on the farm.
