SITTING

 
With a group, in a church,
in a room, at a meeting –
chairs, seats, benches,
people watching, waiting,
listening, speaking, as
well as wondering,
“What’s going on?” –
“What’s happening?” –
“Am I going to be asked to do
something I don’t want to do?”
“Or am I going to be able to avoid
the unavoidable – the undesirable,
the risk – the fear – the time taker?
Better: why did I show up and what
do I really want to do with my life?
