Today, at a meeting on gender issues, I watched power at work. I watched how people accrued power to themselves, and delighted in it. I felt in myself a desire for power too. (But no, I need to keep focused!) Power is necessary to get good things done. But is it, really? I would love to see good models of authority at work.
Boss seems to be one of them as far as I am concerned but perhaps that's because he may not desire power in quite the same way. We'll see. Still keeping an eye out. He's a workhorse though, that's for sure.
From Paul: "When we become tired, God works," -- Dietrich bonhoeffer.
I said that that made me feel like crying and he said he hoped it was out of joy. But do we feel only one emotion at a time?
