Introvert hell

Today I attend a workshop for mental health and ministry.  There will be two groups of people present.  I, of course, am both.  This is supposed to be right up my alley.  I will carry my business cards.  I will wander.  I will not stand in a corner.  I will wander.  Swim or fly.  Fly or swim. 

Today brings

Another mostly new

Group of people.

Again I will be

Neither fish nor fowl.

If I were an extrovert

I would see this as an exciting opportunity

To claim my fish-ness

And fowl-ness

Together,

Swim through the water,

Join a school;

Fly through the air

Join one wing

Of the vee,

Perhaps even take my turn

As lead goose.

Today I carry my business cards

And do reconnaissance,

Swim or fly

Alternately.

It all depends,

Of course,

It all depends.
