An Introvert’s Lament

An Introvert’s Lament

Give me time and space
working at my own pace
and I can get it done for the team
But it is a waste of resources
when a supervisor forces
us to be all in one place at the same hour
to get ourselves tangled
in directions all mangled
like a snake with heads at both ends
-Karen Molenaar Terrell

“Humans can be very cool sometimes.”

Two lanes full of traffic coming down from school to College Way. An ambulance approaches from the other direction. And somehow our two lanes manage to merge with each other into the farthest lane on the right – everyone accommodating each other and making room for each other to help the ambulance get past us. And there was something in that brief moment that really inspired me. Humans can be very cool sometimes.
