Coffee Break

Sitting in silence, watching steam rise from my coffee, my mind wanders. I consider life and the universe. I marvel at the idea of other worlds. Are there alternate realities? Maybe time travel is possible.

I take a sip, breaking my train of thought. A sweet memory from childhood dances through my brain. I can almost hear the sounds of the ocean, the memory is so vivid. I wonder what lies deep in the abyss of the sea? Consider the possibility of mysteries waiting to be discovered.

As I’m finishing my coffee, I think of love. Instantly, all of the faces of my loved ones flash through my mind. I smile, and let the moment of simple pleasure linger. Life, in its vast possibilities, just doesn’t get any better than the feeling of love.

  10. Calm and peaceful!!
    I certainly believe in a different universe, just like this but very different. I mean, how is it possible that god has created only 1 planet that has life??
    The universe is so huge and in that our earth is like a tiny dot.
    Also, I feel like there’s so much more to know in the ocean, I mean 80% has not been discovered. What wonders are hidden there is unknown to humans.
    I love your work, it gives peace but also it does something to the brain, I cannot stop imagining stuff.
    That’s the beauty of the writer, to force readers to imagine. I don’t know with what mood you wrote this in the past, but it’s magical amber. I respect you a lot for your work and creativity.

    1. Yes, that’s how I feel too. We can’t possibly be all alone in this vast unknown Universe. And the ocean is very curious indeed. I was writing about the practices of self care that I was implementing at the time, and taking time to let my mind wander and slow down during the day was a big one for me. I often do this with a cup of coffee. ☕️ Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to read.❤️✨
