“Ihhn-tehr-esss-ting!” Thalia sweeps the un-brewed into the trash. “The cawwwwww-fee grounds — just look like paint.”
“All of life —” Nia pulls from one of her favorite towering trees, “is an experiment.”
“From root to cup…” Calliope sends out silent appreciation for coffee growers and dairy cows, “life is… a miracle.”
Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break.
~Earl Wilson
Three hundred years ago, during the Age of Enlightenment, the coffee house became the center of innovation.

A note from LoveLetterist:
As the muses crafted this morning's post, I couldn't help but think of my friend's at the Bread Pedaler's who are pouring themselves into nurturing a space for coffee and connection. If you're ever in Wisconsin, Let me know and I'll meet you there!

Ralph Waldo also said: "The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood."
Head and heart in harmony?
As is sometimes (often) the case, I have an artistry question: Is the “head separated from body look” a signature feature to denote your unique Click2Comic art? That the head is the driving force of your character’s pursuits? IMHO not representative of your personal world view. 🤷🏽
The link below your art today, to a calming voice and lyrics, stirred my memory of “hoedadding.” A specific reference to the tool and the user of same. I had a friend nearly 45 years ago who contracted that work at a local National Forest to restore long leaf pines. The native pines of this area. Some Google videos display the process - horribly repetitive and back breaking… 😳
That the Age of Enlightenment, begun in Europe then transferred to the colonies, had coffee shops was surprising. I picture contemplative gentlemen at an ornate table, thinking and sipping.
My brain now festooned with new images and possibilities, I’ll plan accordingly. 😁
