Two years of not making any major work, of focusing my priorities elsewhere. I kept my foot in the water by writing a few articles and it was amazing how wonderfully everything was prepared for my return. My sabbatical was like giving the soil a rest from an intense crop - planting something else that will nourish the soil even if it won't produce a salable crop. I think the whole idea is to nourish and refresh and to learn something new. I’ve just come off a two year sabbatical. Two years of not making any major work, of focusing my priorities elsewhere.
