An odd thing has happened as I have moved back to working full time within a big mining organization. I took the job because I was worn out by being out there on my own – managing so many jobs and writing projects – a heavy freedom. Now, being part of an organization, I now imagine myself as fennel. On its own fennel is a strange and sometimes difficult food, but as part of a soup, it add a unique flavor while losing its singular bite. I am now enjoying being part of a mix, my identity now much more about how I influence others and they me. The break and context I’ve sorely needed.
