TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

First, allow me to say “thank you” for including me in your creation. You’ve really done a spectacular job with the universe and cosmos, etc. I enjoy your work very much. Great attention to detail!

Second, after many years of deliberation, I am happy to notify you that I would very much like to accept the position you have offered me, here on planet Earth. In so doing, I consent to enter the current, the dance, and the flux, of all things eternal and never ending, that you have set in motion so many days ago.

Thirdly, I’d like to discuss some desirable work habits/environments to maximize my efficacy while I remain in your employment:

1) I’d like, please, to be defined by you
and what you do through me.

2) I’d like, please, to forego the definitions assigned to me
by those who see and assess,
by those who read and decide,
by those who think and know
what tidy boxes I’d best belong in,
and let those definitions be forgot for a time

and then forever.

3) I’d like, please, to have your approval
more than that of the organizations who market you
or the men and women who say they know you better
than I do –

and maybe they do –

maybe.

 

Lastly, as I consider my long term goals within your workforce, I’d like to summarize my hope via observation of another of your fine creations:

When I watch your reeds of wheat in the field,
they do not fight over the terrain,
they do not choke each other out,
or declare their grain superior to the rest.
They grow
and bend
and sway
in unison
and separate,
on strong stalk
and gentle,
created
to reach,
to seed,
to stretch into
the season of harvest
when, in new form,
they feed,
they nourish,
they give into life
and life through them does give.

 

In Gratitude,
and Sincerely Signed,

one who is beginning to reach
