Tanka Blues

the bachelors are back

their stems held strong and true

though once removed

their blue faces shine again –

you can’t keep a good man down

Today I was told I’d have to leave my beloved office because they were going to create a much larger office space which would  incorporate mine. I take heart from these bachelor buttons that line the road on my way from home to work and back again.

    Dear Joan,  I am SO sorry; your office (the innards only, I guess) is so warm and welcoming and forgiving.  Given what I just  wrote, I am sure that you will find another place and it will be just as good. Maybe even better. There is the nasty trauma of CHANGE.  UGH!  Let me help you.  I mean it, packing, sorting, orgnizing, taking books off shelves, putting books on shelves, all of that.  I would really like to help you.  It wold mean a great deal to me to be of some actual use to you. Let me know, I’ll be around and AVAILABLE and eager to help, to mid-Sept. for two weeks.  I”ll return in early Oct. and will be, again, eager to help. Blessings, my dear Susan PS:  I was in Margie’s space two days ago. There was a sign saying there was an office vacancy.  Don’t know if that would be a good location for you,or anything about the other factors.   I just saw the vacancy sign.  Let me know; I’ll be all over it.  (I just love it when I can say something that might be actual current terminology.)xxoo, S. Joan posted: “the bachelors are back their stems held strong and true. though once removed their blue faces shine again – you can’t keep a good man down                                                                                     JDG Today I was told I’d h”

    I, and many more will mourn with you the leaving of your office, beloved by probably all who have ever been there. I hope we’ll eventually be celebrating another space where you will be nurturing the growth of new life. Love, Dabney
