Coffee Like Pac-Man...

John Rock says to slow down and enjoy your coffee.

 

Racing frantically around in life like a Pac-Man (or Mrs. Pac-Man if you prefer) I get accustomed of running around trying to avoid the many dangers of life that are out to get me.  I spend my days frantically gobbling up everything in my life that must be consumed or obtained and then I turn to power pills like coffee/caffeine that gives me a momentary edge over the goblins that haunt and seek to destroy me.  When at last I have dominated my world and have everything under control a new chapter in my life begins and I start all over again.

On rare instances, though, I get to wake up in the morning while the wife and children are still in bed, I don't have to be at work, and I can simply sit with and sip on a cup of coffee.  It is on those rare moments that I am no longer a consumer of coffee but a person who experiences my coffee.  On those days I am happy to get the freshest cup of coffee on the planet.  It makes a difference.

It does not matter where you get it from but if you get the chance make sure that your coffee is from a single-origin and it is roasted-fresh.  When you do this you will become aware that the life you are living is a simple game that can be mastered like Pac-Man.  And all it takes is to be still and a good cup of coffee.

Drink coffee responsibly my friend... ;-)
