I spend time in the local coffee shops, read, and write. I did a lot of my blogging in that venue; however this summer I rearranged my schedule and blog at home. I notice a gentle energy in these settings and in a busy world it is a place to take time and just be.
The coffee shop;
Misnamed I think–
I sip tea
I try just be present.
We gather;
It is about talk–
A communal space,
Congregate and converse.
Companionship’s richness;
Found in quality
I cannot assign a number
It is a fool’s errand.
It is in laughter,
The reminiscing,
The sharing,
We find ourselves.
