There is something in coffee that calls to you as if it were a higher force. This is a magnificent feeling that I have only found in this drink, and I have not felt greater satisfaction than when I feel this calling and I am going to fulfill my desires.
A few days ago I took my sister to her French classes at the Alliance Française. As soon as all the children entered their respective classrooms, everything was completely silent. Just thinking that there was a cafe nearby I said to myself, why not? And I was quickly on my way there.
I was visually struck by a sign that I had never seen before in my visits to that place. "Coffee is always a good idea", as if it were a divine message confirming my cravings. I took the opportunity to order a short coffee, took out a poetry book and tried to relax in the new environment.
When I was already drinking my order, T.S. Elliot surprised me by saying that he had measured his entire life with coffee spoons. In my case, I think I could measure mine in coffee cups, but the bill would be too big. Again that product of the coincidences made me take a good smile.
I spent a good time like that, reading, drinking my coffee and admiring the landscape around me. There are so many things that we often overlook, so that was the ideal moment to breathe and connect. Coffee, with its characteristic strong flavor, forces you to wake up in the here and now, and that's probably another reason why I like to consume it so much.
When I left there I felt that I had regained contact with some part of me that I was leaving behind, and I felt very grateful. I love coffee and I adore these kind of experiences that only happen around it. That's all for now regarding today's post. I hope you liked it. Until next time!

Hay algo en el cafĂ© que te llama como si fuera una fuerza superior. Esta es una sensaciĂłn magnĂfica que solo he encontrado en esta bebida, y no he sentido mayor satisfacciĂłn que cuando siento este llamado y voy a cumplir con mis deseos.
Hace unos dĂas debĂ llevar a mi hermana a sus clases de francĂ©s en la Alianza Francesa. Apenas todos los niños entraron a sus respectivos salones de clases, todo quedĂł en absoluto silencio. De tan solo pensar en que cerca habĂa una cafeterĂa me dije a mĂ mismo, Âżpor quĂ© no? Y rĂĄpidamente me encaminaba hacia allĂĄ.
Me impactĂł visualmente un cartel que jamĂĄs habĂa visto antes en mis visitas a ese lugar. "El cafĂ© es siempre una buena idea", como si fuera un mensaje divino confirmando mis ansias. AprovechĂ© para pedir un cafĂ© cortadito, saquĂ© un libro de poesĂa y tratĂ© de relajarme en el nuevo ambiente.
Cuando ya bebĂa mi pedido, T.S. Elliot me sorprendiĂł diciendo que habĂa medido toda su vida con cucharillas de cafĂ©. En mi caso, creo que podrĂa medir la mĂa en tazas de cafĂ©, pero la cuenta serĂa muy grande. Otra vez ese producto de las coincidencias me hizo llevarme una buena sonrisa.
PasĂ© un buen tiempo asĂ, leyendo, tomando de mi cafĂ© y admirando el paisaje a mi alrededor. Hay tantas cosas que muchas veces pasamos por alto, asĂ que ese era el momento idĂłneo para respirar y conectar. El cafĂ©, con su sabor fuerte caracterĂstico, te obliga a despertar en el aquĂ y en el ahora, y probablemente esa sea otra de las razones del porquĂ© me gusta tanto consumirlo.
Cuando salĂ de allĂ sentĂ que habĂa recuperado el contacto con alguna parte de mĂ que estaba dejando atrĂĄs, y me sentĂ muy agradecido. Amo el cafĂ© y adoro este tipo de experiencias que solo suceden a su alrededor. Por ahora esto es todo en cuanto al post de hoy. Espero que les haya gustado. ÂĄHasta la prĂłxima!
