Coffee Community

I dwell in a community of repeated though irregular encounters around work and coffee. Many I pass with a silent nod of recognition and a smile of greeting. Others involve conversation about our various and diverse tasks. Always acceptance. Rarely commitment.
I'm learning in this always emerging never defined dynamic. Watching how people approach this unstructured structure. Some with scheduled routine or a favorite seat. Some with momentary intensity and then they're gone. I revel in the expansive expressions of work and relationship, focus and freedom, purpose and pause. I delight as much in the fellow entrepreneur trying to get some work done as the busy friends catching their breath as they catch up with each other. The writers, the mothers, the homeless, the business suits, the backpacks... it's all good.
I've got to go. I hear my name. Someone has anticipated my refill.
