Sipping Coffee

I am the coffee cup, holding the coffee which is God. He fills me with sweetness and warmth, so others can enjoy my aroma. I sip from the knowledge of God, to taste His beauty. I breathe in the freshly brewed coffee, knowing His presence is here. “God within me is the enjoyer of the aroma As also this dopamine boosting flavour I taste I surrender all pleasures to the dweller of my heart Breath by breath thus that my soul presence be chaste”

What I love about this Paula is, not just that you capture the experience of good coffee, but that you dwell fully in the moment in such appreciation that God alone receives the credit and adulation. All good things ;) A great way to start the new year - with anticipation and appreciation of the 'small' things. Blessings Paula :-))
