Wheeeee….
September 2nd, 2010So as of this morning, I have two parishes that want me to come visit, and one parish that wants to send several of the people on the search team (the group charged with evaluating candidates to be their new priest) to come visit me and watch me do my thing at St. Cosmus’. Visits in either direction are both ways of getting more serious about considering me for a job.
It’s possible, of course, that none of them will offer me a job. I can imagine a dynamic where I look really attractive on paper, and seem interesting and fun in person, but where ultimately they worry about my experience level and offer the job to another candidate. That would be OK; I’m not in a hurry yet. This is all moving a bit fast for me, really. We shall see….
I swing back and forth between being totally preoccupied by all this (spending hours poring over real estate listings in various towns, trying to imagine life there – Tilt sometimes joins me or incites me in this), and not thinking about it at all – throwing myself, instead, into wholeheartedly planning our big crafting evening in late October… And I swing back and forth, likewise, between being excited and curious about what this next step will bring, and feeling keenly how much I love our life here and the people we know and the place we live, and how much there will be to miss…
Wheeeeee.
