With the taste and aroma of the first-morning coffee


the new year comes to me.


It's coming now,


even though it's been open for almost three weeks.


Is he late? Maybe.


But I'm not angry.


Everything's different this year.


This year he's not aggressively kicking down doors,


like his predecessors did.


He's not trying to go on a nervous rampage


to grab unrealistic results in real-time,


only to huddle in panicked terror


that the essentials are slipping through his fingers.


This year he is not aggressively kicking down doors,


it comes slowly and with peace in its heart.


He lays priorities like building blocks


and doesn't waste space.


I look at him and I know this is how it will be.


Though some may not understand me.


Though I may bring disappointment to some,


...because my decisions will not obey their expectations.


A year as clear as water


may it prove in the end that these very decisions


are for the good and benefit of all around.


May it have in it


the sweetness of slow Brazilian coffee


instead of instant coffee powder,


the laughter of children playing


the juiciness of an orange freshly plucked from the tree


and the comfort of parrots perched atop a palm tree


where they can see everything with a detached eye.


Thank you for giving us a different start this year
