Ritual coffee.

A loving greeting to all my Hive friends. It is a pleasure for me to be back in this beautiful community, telling you a little about my coffee experiences. It has always been very important for me to have safe places to do my things. Since I consider myself a neurodivergent person, although I have not been diagnosed, I know that my way of seeing and experiencing the world is different from that of ordinary people. That is why I need a special order in my life to fully develop.

Everything has its place at home, every activity has an assigned time during the day, every commitment has to be fulfilled and for most of these things I tend to be inflexible. That has made everything in my life have a ritual character. I enjoy doing things my way, although others have called me manic, obsessive or stubborn. For me that harmonious ritual in which things unfold perfectly is my safe place.

In the case of coffee it is no different. It is important for me to consume it at a time of the day when I can sit and enjoy its aroma and flavor without any interruption. I do not drink it at any time or place, nor do I share it with just anyone. It is my ritual moment, where drinking peacefully becomes a loving offering to existence.

I don't have much of a problem with cups. Since I usually drink it at home, I can use the cups that correspond to the crockery. I still have my favorite mug, I use it only on special occasions, because it is really huge. It has at least 20 years with me and is part of those ritual moments I'm talking about.

When I left my home fleeing for reasons of violence, and I moved to an unknown place, with no money and drowned by despair. One of the things I kept in the boxes with my things, was this humble little cup, silent accomplice of coffee afternoons in the happy days.

Today happiness is restored in my life, everything flows and shines around me. And my special cup still holds smiles, aromas and happy memories. It doesn't take much to enjoy a good cup of coffee and its steaming mystique. Just the willingness and the full certainty that that cup, that flavor, that aroma, that priceless moment will be unrepeatable.

It was a pleasure to be with you once again in this space. I hope to meet you again to share another cup of coffee.
