Sitting in the weekly staff meeting today, I was struck anew at how much collaboration takes place in my new job. It is both reassuring and a marvel to watch.

However, I also heard something that greatly disturbs me.

I do not know how to speak up, how to voice my concern. In some ways, I feel as if I have been welcomed with open arms. In others, I feel as if I am some great interloper. I suspect, however, that in reality my place there is quite tenuous.

So, I am waiting...and wondering...and trying not to worry about what I heard...
