a meditation by John Butterfield
there are lots of new people here Lord
people I have never met
yet because they are here with me
they must be like me in many ways.
the first impressions confuse:
they all look so confident and assured.
they all know why they are here,
but if I imagine personas from their appearances
just as we mostly do when we see a stranger
I will scare myself into yet more shyness
and never get to know
who they really are
and perhaps will have missed
finding a new friend.
