New directions

As I carry out more interviews with participants, my thinking develops.  Accordingly, my reading selections reflect emerging scenes and directions.  The literature review is indeed a living, ongoing account of past and current readings, and how these impact on the research.  Every interview leads me to stop at a 'dwelling post' (Cousins & Bissar, 2012) to assimilate new stories and broaden the landscape of my understanding.  The stories I am privileged to hear steer the direction of this research.  The stories are the research.
            Stories steer
            Readings delve
            Dwell awhile
            No stopping

Cousins, 2012
