Coffee

- Espresso maker- 

"Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it's something happening.

Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, 

but not like a location, 

but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time,

but not actual hours or minutes, 

but a chance to be, like be yourself,

and have a second cup"

- Gertrude Stein, Selected Writings

It's National Coffee Day today in the US and in Canada,

and there will be the International Coffee Day on October 1.

So: enjoy your coffee, wherever you are in the world!

"If you do just one thing - make one conscious choice - that can change the world, go organic. Buy organic food. Stop using chemicals and start supporting organic farmers. No other single choice you can make to improve the health of your family and the planet will have greater positive repercussions for our future." 

― Maria Rodale, Organic Manifesto: How Organic Farming Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe

I joined a Global Climate Strike march today and they played "Imagine" by John Lennon. Maybe that's the source of their power, these wonderful young people have so much "Imagination".

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world ...

"I believe that enjoying your work with all your heart is the only truly subversive position left to take as a creative person these days."
