This is a photo of my first conceptual map for my thoughts for research. It is amazing how far away from these ideas I feel I wandered only to realize now I remain in this topography. It is also amazing how after so much inquiry, writing, and theorizing I continue to feel far away from anything that is complete. I suppose I am caught the hermineutical delight of qualitative research and the reality of lived-experience as evaporative. Editing is so much more enjoyable for me. It feels productive.
