# Interlude...

## Apologia
---
It seems to be a persistent theme my apologising for absence. In reality I have found some new patterns this year that I have found more productive in my faith in aiding clarity of thought than the pattern you find here. I have also found it increasingly difficult to settle this year for reasons that are boring and complicated. This is in no small part because of starting a PhD with my employer, and also moving to complete my BIA training so that I might develop and deliver a course to our local partners.

As such I have undoubtedly 'bitten off more than I can chew'. I have also found myself with no free time with which to enjoy the benefits of Linux and to 'play'. As such much of my tech setup needs re-configuring although just how feasible this is I have not yet established. One of the things I have had to say goodbye to has been coding. This has been a singificant part of my life for decades and afforded insights into logic and how systems *actually* work that I would never have otherwise benefit from.

I do hope that one day I will be able to return, and if not pick up where I left off. Find an alternative. In any event I need to find a new thread and so will be pausing for a time whilst I develop a new site and re-think my relationship with this Tilde. My ambition is to find a new Rhythm with this space, what that will look like is not yet known to me.
