Coffee, still warm. Leaves changing. People moving through their own stories while you settle into yours.

Today, practice staying here.  Phone down.  Shoulders loose. L etting the first sip have your full attention.

There is care in this small pause.  You can feel how much I need it, how quickly I usually hurry past it.

ZEN… something practiced between sips.  Giving yourself permission to enjoy what’s here without planning its replacement.

Build from this feeling.  Let peace have a place in the work itself.
