After two hours of trying clay, it was time to cut the knot. I had to decide what I want to do at the AKI. I took an early lunch break, with the intention of contemplating my decision in the canteen. It was empty and silent. I checked my mail (about my thesis) and my whatsapp (people from the lab asked something) and my calendar (about the test I want to do tomorrow), and realized, that the work I do at the research lab has become a vital part of my life. In my thoughts, I am there, staining cells and studying them through the microscope, admiring my work of art.
A thought arose, from where thoughts can linger for weeks before showing themselves, and it went as follows; "How can something that is so dangerous and evil, be so beautiful?"
And there, on that wooden bench, chin in hand, I accepted the beauty that these cells carry, and decided to make that my focus.
