Traveling today to a place of a healthy cup of coffee. Percolated, brewed, boil boil, toil and trouble. Is this what Shakespeare meant when he wrote this?
Stir in a pot of water a few tablespoons of bean granules, stir it again and again. The kitchen becoming aerated, saturated, with the scent of the comforting coffee bean, like incense all over, clouds of wet steam not smoke, moisturized movement of hot air meeting cold air, an indoor tornado as the coffee dominates, like One God, One smell, One taste, adding sugar or sweetener, milk or cream, or being brave and taking it deep black to look like nurturing plant compost, no additives, straight black from the mouth of the kettle, grounds sticking to the bottom of the cup, an incredibly good taste in your mouth, not dirt. Clean coffee, clean words of conversation as we bless our coffee in a pure glass cup.
Wishing for coffee with two or three others? Others who know the secrets of the Torah, to exchange words of loving-kindness and to then perform actions, deeds of loving-kindness. Let the smell surround your environment and attract kindness like sweet honey bees pollinating one flower after another. More drinkers, more lively conversation, the more the merrier. Talk over a table of two or more about the latest book you read, and combine your conversation with holy Words of Torah. Torah to cause awesomeness and righteousness and the presence of God. Words of loving-kindness to mix in the same pot as the coffee. Adding white cream as angel wings.
The glorious deep brown softened coffee bean, a time to be with a friend who loves God as much as you do and who loves coffee as much as you do. Loving-kindness, "chesed" is the Hebrew word, being primary and forthcoming as our lessons of Torah teach us and unfold about having a love for God as well as a love for humans.
With Human Rights taking first place as we love humans and we have humans in our inclusions with The One Almighty God of Sarah and Abraham, our Fathers and our Mothers, generation after generation.
