Waking in the morning to the beautiful rising of the sun. As the light filters through the bedroom window, it fills the room with possibilities for the day. And possibilities of life’s direction.

Opening a bag of newly roasted Peets coffee. I feel as if I can not even begin to describe the ecstasy of the pure joy of the warming and deliciously enveloping smell that emanates from this brown coffee bean bag. My eyes are closed, my mind is superbly focused, my olfactory senses are heightened, my lungs are readying for the expansion, my breath starts on the inhale, the air passing through the nose. My entire body in such a synchronicity of intake and feeling. Everything working together to embrace this precious inhale of sweet and delicate fresh coffee bean smell. This is a moment of pure quiet joy.

Quiet joy is mesmerizing, remaining in the stillness of each joyous moment.

They are there to enjoy and acknowledge in my own quiet way.
