I love that feeling you get at around 8ish at the coffee shop when there is nobody else around. It is like having your own personal coffee bar at your disposal. So quiet, so much room, breathing becomes a pleasure.
The sun has recently gone down and the lights inside are glowing like mini moons. The employees are actually having a real conversation because they no longer have to keep up the corporate facade to appease customers and they are allowed to be people again. All of the pressure of the day has just been released: the formerly clogged traffic flow has slowly dripped out of highway off-ramps and returned to home. I am at peace.
The way we live is constantly under construction, so these moments are rare. The ones where we stop and wonder if we are building the right thing, supporting the right project, setting up what we need to in order to be our best selves. We are so busy just trying to get by that we don’t have the time to stop and see the bigger picture. I think for once, I might be moving in the right direction on a multi-tiered skyscraper of self. It would be nice to have one in my city of Benjamin.
