The Sacred Mundane – Finding the “divine” in your morning coffee
“In the sacred mundane, we find a whisper of the divine within the ordinary.” – Unknown
- Brewing the beverage: A simple act, a prayer perhaps. The water heated to the perfect temperature, the coffee grounds releasing their essence. Each movement is deliberate, mindful, connecting us to the earth and her bounty.
- Pouring the liquid: A silent offering, a symbolic gesture of our thirst for connection. The steam rises like incense, carrying our intentions skyward. In this moment, we are attuned to something greater than ourselves.
- Savoring the taste: A meditation on flavor and texture, a moment of sensory delight. Each sip invites us to pause, to be present, to appreciate the simple beauty of existence.
“Every morning we wake to find ourselves on earth, let us rejoice in this fact.” – Emily Dickinson
In finding the divine in our morning coffee, we are reminded of the sacred within the everyday. We are challenged to see the world through a lyrical and mystic lens, to appreciate the beauty that lies hidden in plain sight. May your mornings be filled with joy, reverence, and the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
