“Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure like an angel, and sweet like love…” is how it was once described by a French statesman in the 19th century. In Ethiopia, coffee ceremonies would sometimes last for over two hours, while in Yemen coffee was served in social occasions, just like it was in Asia. In England, for a time it was served with some interesting ingredients – such as mustard, butter and oats.

"Tuesday Thoughts"

I noticed how quiet the apartment felt this morning, even with the windows open. The city was moving, but I wasn’t part of it yet. I made coffee and stood there longer than necessary, just holding the mug.

Some days feel like that. Not sad. Not happy. Just suspended. I’m learning not to rush those moments away.
