my new office

I need a break.

In my new office, a bike ride away, 

fall leaves raining around me,

away from home, teaching my young mentee

how to think.

I need a break from the endless

energy of balancing hope and reality,

of pushing away worry, to keep the light of hope

burning. 

I love my new office, with it's long table

to work together, my teapot and mug,

my folding bike in the corner.

I went there today for a ten minute meeting

before riding to Owen's Pond 

like I always do.
