Coffee

Coffee is the common man's gold and like gold it brings warmth and nobility to every man.

Abd Al Kadir, 1587


One of the things that was suggested to us on the Reiki course was, for twenty-one days, to try and free ourselves from our dependencies. Something that I have, over time, become 'dependent' on is a morning cup of coffee. Now I know there's nothing wrong with this; it's not as though I drink countless cups every day and on those days that I'm exhausted it definitely helps give me a much needed 'pep'. But the point is that I still feel that I 'need' this coffee in the morning, just like I 'need' to check my emails numerous times throughout the day (why?) and I 'need' to do various other things. So...for the next few weeks, no morning coffee. Let's see how I get on.
