Anxiety
feeds
on my slowly developing confidence.
I’m learning,
but so far
behind.
Asked to do even more,
I am honored
excited
and still
questioning
everything.
It’s not that I don’t believe
I can do this.
I can.
(I think.)
It’s that I believe
this is so much
bigger
than just me,
and I don’t want to hinder
the process or
the project –
as it exponentially grows
at warp speed.
I want to be part of it
and not let it race past.
I want to help it
improve it and
refine it
until the obscure simplicity
breaks
through
into
vibrant understanding –
meeting people
wherever they are
and not asking them
to become anything else
first.
