"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?”
Oh, Religion, you so crazy!
Well actually He told the fig tree "you will never bear fruit again"
but figs don't care, they just adopt!!
Oh, the People You'll Meet!
In my life, I've met people. Some I never think about again. Some, I wonder what happened to them. Some, I wonder if they ever think about me. And then there are some I wish I never had to think about again.
But I do.
I have always thought of a coffee shop as a church-- of sorts. A place for fellowship. A community of individuals brought together in a place of worship(for me, anyways) A place where wit & wisdom flow. Where we talk story. We discuss finance, state affairs, common gossip, and a bit of low brow comedy. I have met magnificent people and made personal connections that will last a lifetime. Ordinary encounters made extraordinary.
Coffee is the tie that binds us...at least in my life.
Coffee--brewed. Hearts--warmed. My job here is done. :)
Afternoon Delight
Popped our coffee cherry...we did.
On a hike to Maunawili Falls on the windward side of O'ahu, we came to an old coffee grove...the trees were thin under the dense canopy but easy to identify by their shiny waxy leaves. We found some had green cherries attached to their scrawny branches.
We searched for a while trying to find one with a ripe red cherry. How our behavior must have looked to passerby's makes me laugh now. Probably as bizarre as I look when I play in the snow.
Spotted bits of red in the lush green landscape...where the canopy allowed more sunlight to pass though. Wild coffee, long since abandoned...unkempt yet beautiful.
We snapped a few pictures...popped a few in our mouth and headed up the mountain with renewed vigor.
