Contemplation and escape...

I'm on my second cup
Flying away in elevation
Getting lost in my thoughts

This is a BIG LIKE

Heavenly write

Ah yes! I have had my second as well. A very nice medium roast that smells divine. Getting lost in my thoughts is hazardous but I spend a lot of time there. And a lot of time trying to get out of there... Love the BIG LIKE. ☕☁️😘

Very nice work. Hopefully encouraging.
My favorite verse: "... she built her castles... "

Hey Marks, it's great to see you. :) I am happy you could share a cup with me this morning. ☕☁️😘 I love castles, I miss them... but I will always strive to build more. 🏰

... ... ... ... ... 👍

Got to love the serenity of the quiet cup of Coffee
Great job beautiful
Love and light

Indeed, the serenity of a Sunday morning cup of coffee is sacred. It sends ripples of inspiration through my mind. I think it's about time to hit the pool and get some vitamin D. Much love and light to you always Ron. ☕☁️😘

The coffee break escape – the daydream to a less stressful place. For that moment, no responsibilities just enjoying the caffeinated energy pouring into you.  The biscuit from the counter, calling you, wanting to be dunked and immersed in your hot steaming brew, the combined bitter sweetness savored on your tongue as your mouth closes around it. Consuming its decadent nourishment.

☕🍪☁🌥

Damnit DaVinci! Yes! my mind has firmly taken it's place deep in the gutter as usual. ;) I am thoroughly distracted by wanting something dunked and immersed in my hot steaming brew followed by caffeinated energy pouring into me. lol I need to go get on that again... :p ☕☁️😘

Keep enjoying your cup of Juan Valdez coffee.  Keep on writing.

You know I will Francisco! :) I made several cups of a really lovely medium roast today. No fancy machines, just a ceramic grinder and a French press. ☕☁️😘

OMG yes... my own love affair with coffee is no secret! Enjoyed this delicious interlude. 😊
❤️k

Oh yes! Such a wonderful steamy love affair it is we have with coffee isn't it! ;) I am so happy you enjoyed taking a moment out with me. I love that. ☕☁️😘

Oh girl.  I am craving my usual hazelnut coffee. This was filled
with such flavor and drifting aromas. Great metaphors in this of escaping
into that cup. I'm on my way right now to fix me a cup after I give you
hella snaps with this write!!!

Have a great Sunday evening KX!!

Hazelnut, sweet and nutty just like me. ;) And oh how I am addicted to your hella snaps Adelphina! You are always filled with such flavor and really know how to make me (and everyone) smile. :) I hope you are having an amazing evening. ☕☁️😘

Dear K,

Well I hate to crash the party as a tea girl but I will say as usual you bring it with fabulous imagery of those moments of bliss that only these cuppa’s can provide. There is such a sense of civility and peace in each cup. Really enjoyed this lovely write. So glad you’re back! H🌷

I am so happy to see you Honoria. :) It's not a party until you get here. 🎉 🥳 I have been doing a lot more tea too recently. My Mom is more of a tea person. I love that you could share a cuppa of whatever your heart desires with me. Thank you so much for the love. :) ☕☁️😘

I too have written of this elixir, Just called, "Coffee" As I am on my second cup the first was with my morning prayer and devotionals, I find this the best way to wake up with the Lord and His blessings. One of them being the morning coffee. wonderful write

Hey there TIG, ah yes this heavenly elixir was given to us to be enjoyed. :) I have already had my morning ritual as well. I find myself wanting to go back and get some more but I do try to contain my addiction. Thank you so much for sharing with me. ☕☁️😘

A coffee break is a break from something. It seems like coffee has a place from morning to night. That something seems to be crowding into, barging into our lives more and more.

And that break is brief. Which makes coffee all the more special.

There's that hot, blistering first sip,  and that eventually cold artifact of a thousand interruptions. First things first. Utility. Practical stuff.

As if coffee isn't the most practical thing. It's gotten so the things we're breaking from push until we could soon end up without its life affirming properties.

We need coffee to get us time to think our way through what we're breaking from.

It's human nature to overwork. It's a spiritual exercise to see empathy for our human selves.

I drink coffee just before bed. Caffeine helps me sleep. French vanilla creamer and a mild brew.

Soft wet creamy cups of sultry cuddles are just the medicine to break from a hard day's work.

A break from so many things, perhaps everything. It would seem there is always something barging in and crowding into our lives. I have always been told I need space and it is so true. So often in my life it was taken away and I find myself  suffocating under the constant pressure.

I always savor the ritual of my morning coffee.

Still... as you say, there is so many interruptions that try to steal that moment away.

Coffee is a universal truth that spans the globe. Thank god it's healthy, well in moderation...

Let's not speak of overwork...  not to mention my OCD - I had the worst perfectionist streak growing up that I had to learn how to reign in. You can spend 10 times the amount of time trying to achieve that last 10% of perfection.

I cannot drink coffee before bed. I would never sleep. For me, organic black coffee and I love experimenting with all different kinds from around the world.

Ooooooo.... Now that has sent my mind reeling with thoughts of... <censored> ☕☁️😘

The best kinds....to be sure....of coffee, and thoughts.

"And in a pleasant woody haze, taking a sip of fragrant darkness"  I love the way that sounds.  I'm not big on coffee, however, once a week or so when I have a cup at night, I get that snuggly calm feels you wrote here.

LJ

Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with  me Lj. It's always great to hear from you. :) I am really happy you were able to feel and elicit memories of that sense of calm, that escape that a simple indulgence can bring. ☕☁️😘

You had me at coffee… as soon as I smelled coffee…

I am so happy to have you LDF, I have just made some coffee so I can attract you to me. ;) I like the images that draws in my mind. ;p ☕☁️😘

I have been savoring so great coffee out here in SF… sadly leaving this morning… going out for a last cup… 😍

Cardamom and sweetened milk in my cuppa joe, and your words remind me to take another journey into that dark. Thanks for sharing your lovely thoughts. ox Kathy

Hey Kathy with a K (us K's have to stick together :p) Cardamom and sweetened milk sounds great. I do like Turkish coffee with cardamom but generally I drink coffee black. I love taking that journey into the dark. :) Thank you so much for reading and giving me your thoughts. xoxo ☕☁️😘

Outstanding write Kristina. For a second I thought it was for a comp about coffee held some time ago. Either way, I feel like you really expressed the fleeting thoughts, relaxation and enjoyment of it all. Too many times I'm in a hurry and don't get to enjoy a cup myself, rather I'm just drinking it for the caffeine I need. I like how you took us there, to those little dreamscapes before the day starts.

Bravo.

Ooooo I love outstanding, you are too kind. You know I avoid comps but I will definitely take that as a compliment. :p To hurry a cup of coffee is a sin and you must be punished. Perhaps that is what you wanted after all. I am really good at torture...  A couple of cups is healthy. A French press and some organic beans is all it takes but a cappuccino or latte is great too. Personally I like to enjoy the true taste without cream and sugar. Cream comes in other ways. Sugar too. ☕☁️😘

almost melodious. love it... not necessarily pulling back to reality but that's good too in it's own right. ;) It's all instinctual, and I love that you see talent and encourage me so. Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback again. It really means a lot to me. Happy Halloween!!
