Morning Coffee Rituals
In the space between sleep and full wakefulness, a cup of coffee becomes a bridge to the day ahead.
Every morning at 6 AM, I perform the same ritual. Grind the beans. Boil the water. Pour slowly, watching the coffee bloom. It's not just about caffeine—it's about creating a moment of intention before the day begins.
My grandmother never drank coffee. She was a tea person, preferring the gentle ceremony of chai made with cardamom and fresh ginger. But she understood rituals, the way small practices can anchor us in the present moment.
