Square Grapes

I am feeling sober right now.  All in all, it's been a good day:  I went and taught my ecosystems ecology class, I did some house work, took my daughter to school registration, and went to book group this evening.  In many ways I have been able to traverse across my different roles today with relative ease.  Yet I am feeling a bit lost; I don't feel like I belong here.  And this is all despite the different places that I should find community--the university, the public school system for my children, my friends in book group.  Somehow though, I still feel like I'm as strange as a square grape.  In a world full of round grapes, I am wondering if a square grape can find a sense of belonging.
