I was in a Zoom meeting last week in which people were meeting each other for the first time. The host was interviewing a few of us us. We had already talked about vision for an organization, our experience in community work, and the importance of community dialogue. Then he asked,
What’s your favorite sea creature?
Everyone on the screen got to answer that question, and the answers were really silly and delightful. I found myself enjoying that playfulness became a part of this meeting too.
This week, I’m going to be holding a number of meetings as well, and I hope that moments of connectional silliness can show up at the right times.
Oh, and also, it’s a cuttlefish. Oh, and also, narwhals are real.
