Coffee Musings

Coffee in Seattle is a whole different animal. It could be something in the air there, the land, the streets. Skill in the process is valued.

Coffee Musings

Slow pull, 25 seconds of streaming heat and pressure. United by common circumstance, those who gather in search of. There is many a quest for that thing, that feeling, that state or place. What is your passion, your quest, your collection, your home?

Coffee musings

All things to all people, learn to be just me to my god. Realize i have no power or control. Realize I need to strive to do the next right thing and allow that which is to be to be. For when it is my fault I am deeply sorry and I do apologize. I must remember that sometimes it is not my fault.

Coffee Musings

Realizing the past and its impact on now. Anger and resentment and fear sneak up quick from hidden away deep within seeping out with subtle grace to swing around and stare into the face and the abyss. i was blind all the time i was learning to see.

Coffee Musings

Like gazelle at a watering hole we come for an early morning drink hoping to stave off the lions of our day.

My phone is dead, like the power in the house so this was written and typed in after the consumption of coffee as opposed to texting while enjoying the cup.
Holiday cheer wrapped in the colors of black and brown and white capping the wave of heat swirling in open vessels to create nirvana.
Sweet heat burns brightly around us now the festive sights and sounds and smells - the senses filling never overload with pleasures.
Gathering like penguins trying to stay warm? What did the Jajaweed do in Darfur? What HOPE is brought? A laptop for every child? Empty Bowls? How do we fill them, with what? Canstruction to inspire? Give to give selflessly.
The awareness of self is not forthcoming so impossible to be of the other?

Coffee Musings

Breaking the fast.
Sipping with warm sweet goodness of a hazelnut latte I wonder. Why is it that when deprived of something that is desired it is so heavenly when returned too? Why deprive the self anyways? Granted I know I can not afford to put down $4 every morning for a coffee drink. Which leads to another at 3:30 and another at 11:00 pm. So potentially we are looking at $10 a day for coffee. Not just coffee but gourmet really good coffee. So I save some money and life is not as flavorful and I am denying myself a desire. Why no chocolate. This is the season of candy, soon into the season of pie. I have a freezer full of half eaten half gallon tubs of ice cream. Temptation staring me in the face daily. What resolve is there to not climb in the freezer with those tubs and swim in the ooie goodness? Why deprive the self?

Okay, really it is tea today but close.
Steam. I think that is the thing that makes life complete. one cup of water. 12000 cups of steam. I think that is right.
Watching the steam drift off the surface of my tea. Coated the body in steam last evening. Not much better.
Peace to you good people.

Coffee Musings

Once again the past opens before me as tho time simply stopped its linear progression and the loop created by events produced a gap. That is the distance traveled through time and space seems to have been great and yet again not at all.

Coffee Musings

Firsts, starting fresh, renewed. Feels a bit like an approaching warm summer rain, an early morning breeze with the glow of the sun reflected by the earth. Be the sun today.

Coffee Musings

The heat produces a sense of odd completion. There is much todo and yet very little need to make anything happen.

Coffee Musings

Just a little bit of warmth going down the throat. Barely touching the lips as the sweet creamy texture coats the tounge for a residual flavor burst. Savor the slightly acidic goodness. rich and full with a musty undercurrent. Espresso con panna. Whipped cream for a subtle sweetness. First two sips gets the bulk of the crema of the espresso mixed with the whipped cream. Next sip is pure joy. the final black rich wonderous coffee.

Seattle has got little on Oklahoma these days. We have coffee but our distribution network is lacking. Our baristas with proper training are A rare commodity. Public transpo is relatively nonexistent. Chocolate is now a moot point. Hot glassblowing studios are almost operational. And it is raining.

It seems life complex and complete is how we walk, in beauty.

How does it effect the morning cup when the barista has not yet had a cup?

Coffee musings

Moments, stolen by a mind obsessed with self impossible to find peace.

Coffee musings:

there is a time when action is the only solution and the worse possible course thus no action can be the worst and best at once.

Coffee musings: thermos full of love. Great thermie. Miss warmth, miss tenderness,miss the healing grace of love. Open heart, open.

Coffee musings: sleep comes when the mind is finally at rest. In spiritual gatherings, concerts, horizontal. Coffee serves to fill the spaces in between.
