When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you're waiting for the elevator - instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You don't even really need a place. But you feel like you're doing something. That is what coffee is. And that is one of the geniuses of the new coffee culture.
I come from a coffee-loving family, and you can always tell when my sister and I have been around, because both of us collect all the dead coffee from everyone's morning cup, pour it over ice, and drink it. This is a disgusting habit.
If I walked into the kitchen without washing my hands as a kid, I'd hear a loud 'A-hem!' from my mother or grandmother. Now I count on other people to do the same.
I tend to work in coffee shops. I need to get out of the house, and, well, I need the coffee.
I walk into rooms and I don't know why I'm there. I'm like, 'Why am I standing in front of the toilet now?'
It makes me happy that people recognise me and want to click pictures with me. But sometimes, I want to be a common person. I want to go to a coffee shop and just chill. I miss driving my car with the windows rolled down.
When I go outside in the morning for coffee, I'm not going to spend forty-five minutes getting ready. I just don't care.
My workday begins around 11 A.M., with a cup of black coffee in each hand. If I had more hands, there would be more coffee.
I've never had a cup of coffee in my life. I can't even remain in the same room with coffee.
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
