Slow Coffee
Making the first drink into a beginning.
Arrive
The kettle takes four minutes. Most mornings we spend them elsewhere.
Notice
Notice the sound before the boil, the change in pitch just before it finishes.
Do
Make your coffee or tea without a screen in the room. Watch the water. Smell the grounds before the water touches them. Carry the cup somewhere you do not usually sit and stay there until it is half finished.
Reflect
What did you notice this morning that you would normally have missed?
Close
Leave the cup where you can see it later as a small marker of the morning.
Keep
What did you notice this morning that you would normally have missed?
