As I search for the path forward, I realize that my place in not here. I see a peer forced into retirement, administrators shuffled around like a failed cabinet, and realized that lessons learned by me during the LDP were not learned by others. I had a difficult meeting yesterday but overall I would determine that it was successful. The objectives I set out for myself were met. Regretfully, the assumptions that I had hoped could be chalked up to unnecessary worry were instead confirmed. Changes sometimes retain the status quo. I learned a lot yesterday and was able to get what I wanted out of the meeting but it was a challenge. It is difficult to find a way for the other side to hear when it doesn't want to listen. And even though I believe that I was heard, I do not know if the message will be reflected on in a constructive way.
Today, this photo from Chaco Canyon resonates with me. I see myself metaphorically where I stood to take this photo of the sacred space of Casa Bonito. I am approaching the doorway, I am not there yet and I cannot clearly see what is next but I am ready to proceed.
