Career Counseling
is never a phrase I thought I'd pencil into my datebook.
An entire hour of talking about myself.
60 long minutes of what I want to be when I grow up.
But to my surprise,
I enjoyed it.
Disarmed with some colorful language
on the part of my counselor as she sat down,
clad in an orange blazer and a Tigers tee,
I found it easy to slip into conversation.
Retrospective on my past employment led to
a shimmering seed of an idea:
I like to tell stories.
Something so simple, something so obvious,
but it thrummed with truth,
the conversion of straightforward data into
a tale
or an argument.
I think I needed this reminder.
