Coffee, Books and Light.

As I put my coffee down on the table, I had the realization that there, in front of me was a grouping of some of my favourite things.

Coffee.

The essential start of my day. From its aroma as it is brewing to the radiating warmth of the cup as I take it to my computer.. it is an important start to my morning routine. 

Books.

I love books.  Every book is different, from the paper, the type, the size.... to be able to turn a page, to hear the sound, the flick of the page, to stack them, thumb thru the pages, slide a bookmark into the crease.  No E-books for me.

Light.

It casts shadows, it illuminates.  Light.  Soft, harsh.  I've always had a fascination with light.. the way it moves, where it hides, the tricks it plays... the secrets it has yet to share with me.

Some of my fav. things

Inroads by Carolyn Jess-Cooke

I love to open this book to a random poem and find inspiration.  My current favourite poem is Yesterday, I failed.

The Art of Imperfection by Veronique Vienne and photography by Erica Lennard

The last page, the last sentence : Don't hold your breath any longer : Perfect moments happen every day.
