IRON SHARPENS IRON

My new journey, the technical field,

is completely different

from my former journey, the academic life.

Where classroom used to be my garden

and students were my plants,

this technical journey is very practical

and I am enjoying it.

I find lionesses here who are

zealously defending their pride,

whatchmen who are

skilfully watching their walls,

lighthouses who are

very immovable

under whose directions

skilful sailors

chat new waters, and

irons sharpening each other

so they stay sharp.
