Black Gold

Enchanted coffee beans
Ground and brewed with love
Tell our stories -
Sugar-coated, bitter-sweet, velvety dark -
In porcelain cups 
And happy mugs.
Morning rituals of
Sanity and inspiration
Or little patches of insomnia
Stitched tightly into the quilt of life.
Encounters, musings and romance -
All infused with the taste and fragrance of black gold
Handed over by 
Skilled baristas - 
Coffee knights in a kingdom of coziness
Gentle yet precise
Slick yet welcoming
Friendly yet pleasantly neutral
Always respecting the gift of anonymity.

To be judged or criticized is to be seen, not just looked at. Once our ideas catch on fire, there’s an im

And the quality of our decisions is largely determined by the quality of the questions we ask, what are the questions that could lead us to the greatest breakthrough in life? Here is a (never complete) collection of questions I believe can assist you in moving forward and transforming your life. You don't have to try and answer all of them. Instead, feel free to browse through the list and contemplate the questions that resonate with you at this moment. The questions might be used also as journal prompters and in practising meditation. What do you stand for? What person do you wish to become? If thoughts shape reality, what would you like to think about that would help you move forward? If you'd have to do the impossible with nothing, where would you start? Who are you without the doing? Who are you when you just are? If you could re-imagine and transform their life just by visualizing and thinking, wha
