| "Has the person from nominations gone yet?" |
And yet, we often treat it with dread, a
half-joking veneer covering a more profound discomfort. We worry we
will become overburdened, and though we may try to hide it, we doubt
the hand of the Divine behind the nomination when it reaches us.
Our nominations committees are asked to do so much
with so little. How can we help but be concerned that the pressure
will lead to a slackening of discipline, desperation leading the
Friends responsible to simply trying to fine someone?
It is a situation
that feeds on itself; the more we worry about nominations, the
greater the forces that give cause for worry. How can we break the
cycle?
