The boss peered over the desk at me. I looked down at him and once again looked at the "In" Community and the "Out" Community. I realized that almost every eye was on me, but there was set of eyes that mattered. It was the man behind the boss. I guess he must have been there the whole time and I didn't notice. With being so frantic and trying to decide which Community to be in I realized I never saw him the whole time. I wondered how many other's noticed he was there. As I looked deeper into his eyes I realized it didn't matter who saw him or not, I did. I could faintly hear the boss saying something to the "in" community, but it didn't matter, I was too busy trying to figure out what the man was trying to say to me, I knew he was because I could see his mouth move and the way his eyes would gleam I knew it was important. And then realized what it was and what I had to do. I looked at the boss and said, "I would love to be apart of your community, but I realized that the Founder of the Community never had any of us give resumes. Matter of fact he says the Community is open for all. His son paid the cost and as long as we are go to his office ask for the receipt our standing in the Community is paid in full.", I realized what had come out of my mouth and I quickly put my hand to my mouth, but then I realized the man behind the boss had come to stand by my side. I looked at the boss, my stomach did flip flops, he didn't look happy at all, but didn't say anything at all. I looked at the man finally realizing who it was and with that I tore my resume in half, "I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm just going to be content in being in The Community and whether you offically accept me or not is fine, but I no longer need to find my place, because my place has always been with the Founder after all." I walked away unsure of what I just did and unsure of what was going to happen, I could tell by the way The Founder was looking at me I was about to enter an adventure. I silently said to him, "I don't know how well behaved I will be on this side of the journey. If I get kindof moody about what I just did will you be patient with me?" He smiled at me, I think we both knew the answer.
